Ashes to Ashes

• Watchlist

Hollywood gossip reporter, Verity Chandler, is planning her next expose. Which is to reveal how famed mortician, Eric Prince, built his empire. When she reveals to Prince her plans, he kills her. He then places her in the casket of a man scheduled to be cremated. And cremates her. He then goes to her house and changes the story she was working on to make it seem someone else wanted to get her. When no one hears from her, the police are called in and Lt. Columbo is on the job. Eventually, he learns that she went to a funeral at Prince's and talks to him. And he finds his behavior odd.
