Columbo is on vacation in Mexico and he is a stranger to this country. Guest stars Ricardo Montalban stars as a celebrity matador who kills the man who knows his deepest secret. A. Martinez from L.A. Law, Santa Barbara, and General Hospital has a memorable role as the son of the victim. Anyway, it's typical Columbo with a usual formula. He gets entangled with his own problems. They mention a previous crime solved in another episode entitled "Troubled Waters." Well anyway, this Columbo episode doesn't rank up there as one of my personal favorites but it is worth watching great actors like Falk and Montalban have exchanges and A. Martinez perform in a supporting role. Even today, Mexicans are rarely seen on mainstream television shows and it gave a very different exposure rather than everybody in the country crossing the border. Nobody seemed in this episode to be racing to get over the Border. Keep that in mind and nobody was smuggled in Columbo's car.
