Theodore Bikel plays Oliver Brandt, member of an elite private club of people with high I.Q's who feels forced to murder his reluctant best friend and fellow member Bertie Hastings(played by Sorrell Booke) who threatens to expose his shady business practices regarding his clients. Oliver concocts an elaborate alibi that would seem fool-proof, but of course Lt. Columbo(Peter Falk) finds those little loose ends that not even a genius can seem to avoid making. Can the good Lt. really be a genius himself? Carol Jones shines in a supporting role as a helpful young female genius/club member. Entertaining episode with a memorable(and overdue) murder plot amidst the high I.Q. set.
