Ricardo Montalban plays a proud matador in Mexico who, after an accident involving a bull, feels compelled to murder one of the witnesses, cleverly using a bull as the weapon, despite him being an old friend, because he cannot take the chance that his honor/reputation will be threatened. Enter Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk) who is visiting Mexico at the time, and after an auto accident, finds himself stranded and forced to investigate the death at the request of the police, which he does conclude to be murder, despite being way out of his jurisdiction to make an actual arrest... Montalban in particular is quite good, elevating this otherwise routine entry.
