Helen Shaver stars as Vivian Dimitri, a widow who lost her husband due to a heart attack in prison for murder because of his embezzling funds from his clients. Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk) was the investigating detective on that (non-televised) case ten years earlier that arrested him, so Vivian enacts a two-part scheme of revenge that first sees her kill the man(played by Edward Winter) she knows informed on her husband, then making sure that Columbo is the one assigned to the case so she can kill Mrs. Columbo, then Columbo himself... Interesting variation on the formula with Shaver quite good, though the narrative structure makes the eventual outcome quite predictable.
