Eddie Albert guest stars as retired Major-General Hollister, who is preparing to donate much of his war belongings to a museum exhibit, but is surprised to be confronted in his home by a business associate that is about to be investigated by the Inspector General for shady business dealings that involve the General, who decides to shoot the man to stop him from talking, but this murder is unknowingly witnessed from afar by a beautiful young woman(played by Suzanne Pleshette) out sailing with her mother, and whose insistence that she isn't mistaken in this fact gets the attention of Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk) who comes to believe her story, but how to prove it? Fine cast makes a big difference in thinly plotted entry.
