For the most part, this is a below average Columbo; drags at parts and there's not much of a "fight", but it's worth watching if only for the delectable, very memorable ending.

One of the better plots of Season 01, and while Columbo did expertly caught the culprit to his own satisfaction, he seemed to have ended the episode at a note where, had this gone to trial, it would definitely seem as if there wasn't enough evidence to convict Roddy McDowall's character.
