Gigolo Nick Franco is a violent, two-timing cad. His current paramour, Laura Stanton, has had enough.

Fairly interesting episode. Feel like Columbo hurt her case by ripping the photos of the daughter. She could have gotten a sympathetic jury with her reasoning.

It is one of the best Colombo episodes, where they played wonderfully with the interaction between Colombo and the main suspect. As someone who plays people constantly, the reaction of Colombo to be played this time was different and it gave the story a different dynamic.
