Columbo

1971

1971 TV-PG

Drama Crime Mystery

Los Angeles homicide lieutenant Columbo investigates murders whose perpetrators often assume that his rumpled appearance and wandering questions make him easy to dismiss. While the suspects focus on polished alibis and carefully hidden evidence, Columbo follows small inconsistencies through each investigation. His seemingly casual conversations gradually expose weaknesses in their stories, forcing the detective to find a way to connect what they have concealed to the crime.
