Synopsis

A short, pointy-nosed safecracker intends to rob a safe in a building, but he doesn't realize that the safe is occupied by the Pink Panther, who has made the safe his home. When the safecracker tries to blast the safe open with explosives, the Pink Panther returns each of the thief's devices just before they explode, with the thief taking all of the blasts. Finally, the Pink Panther decides to let the persistent, little man have the safe, which the panther has rigged with a bomb.

OllieSuave-007 This is a great, slick Pink Panther cartoon - one of his earlier ones - where he outsmarts a bumbling robber who wants to take away the panther's safe in his apartment.From constantly having the safe fall on him from being blown away by a bomb, the robber hilariously falls for the panther's slick tricks.There's no dialog or laugh track in this short, and the music score is perfect - classic Pink Panther that what makes these earlier cartoons funny, exciting and full of substance.Overall, great little cartoon. Wished all robbers could be outsmarted like this.Grade A
Stephen Holloway In 1965, this short was released. The picture features the music from Shot in the Dark and was done wonderful by William Lava as well. In the film, the Pink Panther tries to sleep in the safe. However, an would be thief tries to rob the safe. No matter what the thief does, the panther always finds a way to have the thief fail. Eventually, the thief uses his head to carry the safe like an balloon but, the panther pops the balloon and dropped it on the thief. Next, the panther tricks the bandit into taking an exploding safe. Which at first the thief thought was an bomb but then thought it had money and reclaim the safe. I highly recommend the picture for the ending and the gags between the thief and the panther. It's was available on DVD so, if you can find the DVD, watch it and you'll enjoy it as well.An 9 out of 10
ccthemovieman-1 These first Pink Panther cartoons all had the same thing: the panther driving someone nuts! In this case, it's a second-story burglar. Just inside the window is a safe and the little man is there to crack it. Unfortunately, the Pink Panther is inside. Why? We have no clue, but the fact is that he's there and he drives the totally befuddled thief insane by constantly changing locks, opening the top door and pushing him back out the window, etc.For all but the last 50 seconds of the cartoon, the burglar doesn't know the Panther is inside the safe. When he discovers, some really strange scenes occur. It's amazing how many gags they produce in less than a minute!
Shawn Watson Probably still looking for a place to get some sleep, the Pink Panther has strangely chose a safe in a random building to catch some Zs. But some burglar dude turns up with the intention of breaking in. Old Pinky has fun changing locks and tormenting him, as usual. The little burglar dude can hardly believe his eyes when he finally sees whats inside, but the hijinks don't end there. Cleverly, Pinky convinces the burglar to take away the safe even though he suspects a bomb is inside.There are plenty laughs to be had in this cartoon and by this point Pinky's cleverness was beginning to match even that of Bugs Bunny. The Pink Panther is a great character and I love him.
