Columbo is the landmark series that set the standard for the murder-mystery genre....now enjoy this classic Movie of the Week, restored and remastered by NBC Universal and presented from 4K masters. Joanna Ferris (Rosemary Forsyth), while talking with her husband James (Martin Milner) on the phone, hears the shot that kills him. Assuming her husband was in his office at the time, she unwittingly sets up a perfect alibi for the killer, Ken Franklin (Jack Cassidy), a mystery writer and her husband's ex-partner. Miss La Sanka (Barbara Colby), who runs a grocery store at the lake resort where the crime was committed, is the only person who knows that the murder victim was in the area. She uses this knowledge in an attempt to blackmail Franklin. The sloppily attired Columbo appears helpless as the clever killer feeds him clues that point to organised crime.
