Columbo and his wife (where is she exactly?) are on vacation in Mexico. He rear ends a man and the guy claims his neck is broken. This is his inroad into the police department when an officer recognizes the claimant. Now we are introduced to bullfighting in this roundabout way and Columbo is soon investigating the death of a man, gored by a bull. Ricardo Montalban is himself a matador who was forced to retire because he was gored in the leg. The whole thing is founded on fear and the wages of fear. The whole thing is sort of short on reality. Columbo is clever, but this time it seems really strained. Not up to standards.
