Patrick O'Neal stars as architect Elliott Markham, whose plans for a grand city named after his tycoon employer Beau Williamson(played by Forrest Tucker) are cut short by the disapproval of Beau, who blames his young wife for this unauthorized venture. Desperate, Markham kills Williamson, but conceals the body in order so that the wife will inherit, rather than a trust. His disappearance brings on Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk, who also directed for the only time) who is determined to unearth the body to prove murder, which may prove to be a most costly endeavor indeed for the police, which itself is no accident... Good entry with fine cast and plot.
