(1973)
Campaign manager Harry Stone manufactures a story that senatorial candidate, Nelson Hayward, is the target of a murder plot to gain votes in the coming election. Hayward seizes the opportunity to commit a murder of his own; killing Harry Stone, who knows too much, and making it look as if Hayward himself was the intended victim. Columbo hits the election campaign trail to catch a killer. Written by Mark Limvere-Robinson
