Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point in his investigation, Columbo picks up a 1959 dime and mentions to Brady that it's "one of those old silver ones. I betcha that's worth 40, maybe 50 cents." It is true that all pre-1965 dimes (as well as quarters and halves) were made out of silver (90% silver, 10% copper, to be exact). And his estimate of the value being approximately four times the face value is correct.
In 1965, the metal composition for dimes and quarters switched to 75% copper and 25% nickel. Halves switched to a composition of 80% silver and 20% copper. In 1971, halves switched to 75% copper and 25% nickel, same as the dimes and quarters.

- Quotes
Dr. Steadman: Well, perhaps the lieutenant would like to see a menu?
Columbo: Ah, that won't be necessary, sir.
[as Maitre D' walks away with back turned,]
Columbo: I'll just have a BLT on white toast and cream soda.
Maitre D': [Maitre D' abruptly turns around, and while filling out menu, says] One embarcadero garni.
Columbo: Thank you very much.
[Looking at Dr. Steadman's plate]
Columbo: What are they, snails?
Dr. Steadman: Escargo dipped in garlic butter. Flavor is fantastic.
Columbo: Oh garlic, that's what I smell. What's it for?
[pause]
Columbo: To kill the taste of the snails?
Maitre D': [Returning with plate 5 minutes later] Your embarcadero, sir. Garni.
Columbo: Ah, excuse me, I just ordered a B.L.T., what's all this?
Maitre D': That's garni, sir.
Columbo: Oh. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not feeling too hungry. Maybe you could put this in a doggie bag and I'll eat it on the plane?
Maitre D': [With expression of disdain] Of course, sir.
Columbo: Thank you. Ah, just the sandwich. The garni... you can keep the garni.
