Summary:

A collection of five murder mysteries featuring trenchcoat-wearing police lieutenant Columbo.

Disc one: There's much more than meets the eye when Columbo investigates the death of a magician who supposedly was killed by one of his own clever magic tricks. Columbo searches for clues on the cutting room floor when he suspects a high powered film director of hiding evidence of murder.

Disc two: Does the heart rule the head, or vice versa? Columbo ponders the answer to this timeless question and others when he must outwit a sex therapist involved in a crime of passion. Rank and reputation prove to be a particularly difficult obstacles when Columbo looks into the murder of a respected military general by one of his overly ambitious colonels.

Disc three: It's no murder by numbers when Columbo investigates the deadly relationships between a savvy artist, his troubled ex wife, his attention starved wife, and his live in model.
