| ShortSummary=Given a deadline to pay his debts, or else, chronic gambler Harold McCain (]) plants a bomb under the ] of his uncle, professional football team owner Big Fred (]). However, someone else gets to Big Fred before Harold's bomb does by stealing the gardener's pickup truck and running him over while he's jogging. Harold's main concern now becomes preventing the bomb exploding and possibly even killing someone, and sure enough, it does just that when the gardener tries to move the Rolls Royce out of the way of the TV camera crews. Fred's wife Dolores (]) is having a good time as Fred's team's owner, but after Harold tries to squeeze her for money, he is shot dead in his cabin, making it obvious who is responsible. Much like "Last Salute to the Commodore," the real killer is not revealed until near the end, and both murders occur off screen; both episodes were scripted by ''Columbo'' veteran ] (this was his final contribution to the series). | ||
