Dead Weight is an unconventional Columbo mystery that's full of intrigue. After killing his business partner military contractor Gen. Hollister discovers that there's an eye-witness to his crime and attempts to get her to recant her testimony before Lt. Columbo can build a case against him. The plot is written rather well, and plays with the series formula a bit. Additionally, Eddie Albert and Suzanne Pleshette deliver strong performances that give an exceptional amount of depth to their characters. A clever thriller, Dead Weight is an impressive addition to the Columbo series.

It's funny how they will use the same actors as different characters in later seasons.
Like the General in this owns a football team in another episode.
