James Read stars as Dr. Wesley Corman, a dentist who is about to be cut off by his wealthy father-in-law who has urged his daughter Lydia to finally divorce him, as he is believed to be a leach living off their money, so Wesley devises a scheme to murder the film star Lydia is having an affair with, then frame her for the crime, using poison used during a dental visit. Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk) finds many holes in the story, but struggles to find out just how Wesley pulled off the murder...OK episode is watchable but not especially compelling. One amusing if awkward scene involving a poker game with two actors(Dick Sargent and Nancy Walker) playing themselves that Columbo recognizes. Strange that in Columbo's world those actors exist, but previously appearing guest actors like Dick Van Dyke and Robert Conrad don't!
