Columbo

An elegant party is being held at the palatial Bel Air estate of socialite Lauren Staton - a woman of striking beauty and an indefinable core of strength. If she has a weakness, it would seem to be for Nick Franco, gambler, continental playboy and, as we see when he leaves Lauren’s side to return to a high stakes poker game and goes instead to meet beautiful young Lisa Martin at a Valley bar, a two-timing liar. He’s also a brute, as the scar he left on Lisa’s throat further testifies. However, the two women in his life not only know each other...they’re planning a surprise for Mr. Franco.
