Clive Revill guest stars as a charming Irish poet whose verse belies his deadly scheme for homicide and arms smuggling.

While fronting for an Irish peace group, Joe Devlin arranges a clandestine meeting with illicit arms dealer Vincent Pauley. When Pauley tries to pull of a double-cross, Devlin slays him even though it means eliminating his only source of illicit arms for Irish rebels.

Lieutenant Columbo attempts to link Devlin with Pauley with only a few flimsy clues, but the happy poet tries to sidetrack the detective with his Irish charm, whiskey and a competitive game of darts at his favourite pub. In time, Columbo realizes the only hope he has of nabbing Devlin is to link him with the arms smuggling caper.

Also guest stars Jeannette Nolan, L.Q. Jones, Albert Paulsen and Bernard Hehrens. (1978)
