This is an Inspector Clouseau short. There will be spoilers ahead:
I generally enjoy the Inspector shorts, even if they are rather limited, because the gags are typically funny. This short, however, is an exception. It has a decent, if tired, premise-aliens come to Earth and kidnap The Commissioner, leaving the Inspector and his "aide", Sergeant Deaux-Deaux to travel by rocket to the aliens home world to rescue him.
When the best part of the short is a rocket ship crewed by monkeys clearly more capable than anyone else in the short, seven+ minutes can seem very long indeed. The aliens aren't even all that interesting. Our "heroes" manage to accidentally find The Commissioner and free him, only to wind up running for their lives from an alien.
The ending of the short is flat and predictable, which is sad, because the end gag isn't funny. It's a decent series, but even the best series has a few duds.
The Inspector shorts are available on two DVS which are worth searching out and watching.
