Hugh Creighton is a successful criminal lawyer who has never lost a case. He has a live-in girlfriend, who is a former rock star. When he finds out that she’s seeing an old boyfriend, he throws her out. She then threatens to reveal that the secret of his success is allowing witnesses to purjure themselves, unless he pays her for the time they were together. He then plans to kill her and frame her boyfriend. It isn’t long before Columbo is on the case, and discovers a few inconsistencies.
