Dr. Marshall Cahill is the director of a government institute that employs various scientific geniuses, including the elderly Dr. Nicholson, who knows that Cahill's son Neil has plagiarized a dead man's theory of molecular structure. When Nicholson threatens exposure, Dr. Cahill murders him and cleverly makes the killing look like the job of a heroin junkie who needed his fix. But clever or not, another kind of genius is on the case: the rumpled, redoubtable Lt. Columbo.

Dr. Marshall Cahill, head of a scientific think tank, is proud when his son, Neil, is nominated for high honors for his discovery of a revolutionary theory. But fellow scientist Howard Nicholson knows that Neil, driven by his father's incessant browbeating, plagarized his theory from a deceased mentor. Rather than let Nicholson expose and ruin his son, Dr. Cahill murders him and makes it look like a burglary gone wrong. Enter the cigar-chomping Lieutenant Columbo, whose seemingly blurred eyes immediately picks up clues that will demolish Cahill's carefully planned killing.
