Columbo really does go to college to be a guest lecturer in a criminology class.
After the lecture is over, the students come across the dead body of their college professor, Professor Rusk in the parking lot.
The culprits are Justin and Cooper. Two rich, spoilt brats who faced expulsion from college as Rusk caught them cheating. If they were expelled their respective wealthy families would be far from pleased.
Justin and Cooper hope to pin the murder on his jilted lover or the various mobsters who Rusk had exposed in his books. They even hang around Colombo feeding him juicy bits of misinformation.
Initially it never is made clear as to how Justin and Copper shot Rusk. You think that one of them shot Rusk in the parking lot. It is only at the end we see their elaborate plan.
Normally when Columbo suspects someone he gets a bad feeling about them. Here Columbo only suspects Justin and Cooper when he spots them horsing about.
The way Rusk dies is audacious enough. The bit about someone videotaping the murder as it occured is jumping the shark I felt. I know Columbo said sometimes you get lady luck but this was ridiculous.
