Goofs
When Columbo gets off the elevator at Tri-con a woman wearing a green shirt and a brown coat steps out in front of him and a younger woman walks in as if she is leaving the floor. While he waits for information on Lewis Lacey, these two women (together with two men) keeps passing behind him in alternate directions, sometimes even changing clothes, to give the impression of a crowded room.
Crazy Credits
During the end credits the usual theme music is not heard. In its place is a jingle for the fictional Milo Janus fitness club instead.
