Love the way Columbo tricks the killers into thinking he's dumb. There is a family of actors that are used in multiple episodes. There are campy moments, but brilliant acting in others. Love the creativity.

In this one, the lines at the end stating they did it because they knew how to do it and they'd prevail because Justin's father, an arrogant lawyer, didn't like to see him fail, disgusted and confused Columbo. How two intelligent kids with all the privileges in life could so coldly decide to kill someone in their way and ultimately throw their lives away. What a waste.
