Plot

The Pink Panther wants to become a toreador, but a swarm of moths eat his cloak. Then when he gives up, he sees Marvelo the Magician. The Panther borrows Marvelo's cloak, and has trouble with outsmarting the bull, and a crabby magic rabbit inside the cape. The panther splits him in two. When the bull runs in the cape, the rabbit leaves the cape, and the bull gets his behind back. Then the swarm of moths return, and eat the Pink Panther's cape one more time , making it spell "THE END"

Notes

• Bully for Pink follows a similar theme to the Looney Tunes film Bully for Bugs; but with the addition of the magic cape gags. It would have a sequel in 1979 - Toro Pink.
• The Pink Panther Show contained a laugh track when the Pink Panther cartoons were broadcast on NBC-TV. Most American broadcasts currently air with the laugh track muted; however, Bully for Pink airs with the original laugh track intact on the France-based Channel Gulli.
