- An IRA terrorist executes an arms dealer he considers traitorous; Lt. Columbo is on the case.
- Devlin is an Irishman. In his youth he was a terrorist, but now he is a famous writer and, officially, a supporter of an American society proposing to help the victims of terrorism. Actually, he is buying from Pauley weapons for the terrorists. Devlin kills him because he thinks he has been betrayed. Lt. Columbo is responsible for the inquiry and becomes friendly with Devlin, but it is very dangerous to be familiar with Lt. Columbo when you are a murderer.—Baldinotto da Pistoia / corrected by statmanjeff
- Joe Devlin is an Irish poet, singer, raconteur - and secret terrorist. He raises money in Los Angeles for his radical cause through a charity ostensibly meant to help terrorism's victims. Despite his hypocrisy, he has a strong belief in honor. When an arms dealer selling guns to Devlin tries to skim off $50,000 for himself, the poet-terrorist shoots him for being a traitor. Devlin leaves the man's hotel room after the "execution", but he makes a dumb mistake. The dealer has Devlin's new book in his jacket pocket, with Devlin's own inscription. That tiny clue is enough for the rumpled, redoubtable Lt. Columbo to make a connection between the two men and learn things about Devlin that the poet would prefer to keep hidden.—J. Spurlin
- Columbo matches his skills against Joe Delvin, who is loved by many due to his job as a poet, singer, and storyteller. Unbeknownst to his fans, he is an IRA terrorist running guns to Ireland. When he finds out that his arms dealer is trying to swindle him, he murders him. Columbo must find a way to prove it and stop him from sending guns to his native country of Ireland.—charmardee-smith
