The two students decide to kill Rusk instead. They use a note to lure him away from class and shoot him in the parking garage via a remote control gun installed in their pickup truck's engine compartment while they are sitting in class listening to Columbo deliver a guest lecture, giving them an airtight alibi.

Rusk threatens to expel spoiled fraternity brothers Justin Rowe (]) and Cooper Redman (Gary Hershberger) for cheating by stealing the final exam. The two students decide to kill Rusk instead. They fake a message to lure him away from the university just when Columbo will be giving a guest lecture to his class. While sitting at the lecture, they monitor the parking garage using a miniature TV camera and shoot Rusk by his car with a remote-controlled gun, both devices being hidden in their pickup truck's engine compartment. With an airtight alibi, the boys then plant evidence to make it look like the professor was killed because of a Mafia exposé he was working on.


'''Final clue/twist:''' Columbo tricks the murderous duo into planting evidence for the murder into a car that he leads them to believe is owned by a suspect, but is actually his wife's. Because only they could know the license plate of the car (Columbo slipped the info to them), they must be the murderers.

List of episodes

The final 14 episodes of Columbo were produced sporadically as a series of specials, spanning 13 years from 1990 to 2003. These episodes have since been released on DVD in several regions as "season 10". Two of the episodes, "No Time to Die" and "Undercover", were based on 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain and thus do not follow the usual Columbo format.
