Storyline

Hayden Danziger is on a cruise with his wife Sylvia, who is older than he and much, much richer. Rosanna Wells is on the same ship as a singer. Rosanna and Hayden are lovers and Rosanna blackmails Hayden, but he has decided to kill her and has planned the perfect crime. Or so it seems since Lt. Columbo is cruising on that same very ship and the Captain asks for his help. Written by Baldinotto da Pistoia

Goofs

Continuity: When Columbo is talking to the doctor, he asks if there was any bruises on Miss Wells' body, he says, "No bruises". But Danziger (Robert Vaughn) punched her in the face in her cabin just a few hours earlier, knocking her down. It's unlikely this would have left no bruise. See more »
