Each episode of this film is an independent article, and its major feature is that the performers in each episode are famous actors and celebrities. Another feature is that the plot adopts a fixed flashback reasoning form: first, it describes the situation of the prisoner's crime, and then it describes Colombo's determination of his suspicion from the conversation and evidence with the suspect, forcing the prisoner to confess. The prisoner thought that even the perfect murder plan could not escape his sharp eyes. One of his famous sayings is: "There is no perfect crime."

The film is unique in that it uses a rare form of flashback reasoning, focusing on how to catch the prisoner, rather than the usual verification of who is the murderer, criminal method or motive. This kind of plot arrangement and character setting will be imitated by K?ki Mitani's Japanese drama "Ku Chu Man Saburo" in the future.
