    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The episode "Enough Rope" was the origin of the character of Lt. Columbo. Its authors subsequently expanded it to the play "Prescription: Murder", then to the TV-movie Prescription: Murder (1968).
    • Goofs
      There is one particularly visible mistake in the live telecast (aside from the usual constant boom microphone shadows), with a momentarily flustered Columbo introducing himself to a receptionist as "Dr. Columbo", whereupon she magically deduces that he's actually "Lt. Columbo" when she notifies her supervisor.
