COLUMBO: COLUMBO GOES TO COLLEGE (TV)
Summary
One in this series of police dramas in which Los Angeles homicide detective Lt. Columbo's unassuming manner masks his keen intelligence and sharp investigative abilities. In this episode, Columbo goes to Freemont College to teach a criminology class and ends up conducting a murder investigation. Columbo heeds the advice that he gives his students and keeps silent about important clues in the case in order to prove the guilt of two wealthy students who sent their professor to an early grave. Columbo also makes references to a previous case (from the episode "Agenda For Murder") while he teaches the class.
