It reminded him of his daughter, she to had been alergic to olives. He wished he could talk to her, but he could not. She had been killed as a sophomore in a freak kiln explosion at Dickinson College.

Sigh Columbo's mind was spinning as he thought of olive allergies, birthday cake and knife wounds and he also wondered who was that guy in the car that saved Mitch? How did he play a part in this mystery and who was he? His mind was reeling and he sat down and continued to scratch his head as if the information would somehow be retrieved from his brain.

He then remembered the testimony from the night doctor who had witnessed the shooting:
"I was out scrounging cadavers for my anatomy class when I saw the car pull up. The weirdest part was that there was a passenger in the car--a fat, sloppy guy in a makeshift TOGA."

Columbo sumised that indeed Lola, Mitch's girl, propably knew about Mitch's impending doom as he was aware that Bon Ton bakery which specialized in birthday cakes was so popular you had to order them weeks in advance. He also thought about Pinhead Larry and how he had a penchant for sipping martini with olives and wearing Togas and once hung out with a guy named Lamont. Lamont loved knives and had the nic name of Switch. He was the a former member of the Magiks and once looked up to Snitch. Somehow all these people had ties to Mitch and one or more were probably responsible for his demise.
Columbo straightened up his rumpled raincoat and excused himself as he wanted to place a call to......... |

The Toga factory. After all, how many places could there be that made Togas. When he asked for a list of people who had recently recently bought Togas, the manager inquired, "Surely you don't want the whole list." "Yes I do," replied Columbo, "and don't call me Shirley." The list included some shaddy characters for sure... Bluto, Otter, Pinto, Hoover, Boone, D-Day... The lsit went on and on, and then Columbo saw it... Standing out like a ameature with a thumb tip. the name he was looking for, Dr. N. Seine. The doctor was up to his old tricks again. Columbo smilled knowingly and went off to see the Doctor.

Columbo was suprised to see Lola (aka Laurie) was Dr.N. Seine's receptionist. Feigning he was going into anaphylatic shock (from eating an olive) he was immediately rushed into a room asked to strip and given a Toga to wear. The Doctor walked into the room holding a ....

Full grown orangutan.
"Hmm..." thought the rumpled detective, "The good doctor must be working with the notorious 'Bonzoist' cult!" "well..." he began aloud, "We meet again Dr. Seine--and my wife would just love an orangutan like that! Where do you get something like that?"

"They come from the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra", explained the doctor. "You know these great apes share 97% of Human DNA! Extraordinary isn't it! That, and at age 15 the males grow cheek pads which the females find irresistable. You know Orangutan means person of the forest but some claim it means savage or madman", gushed the doctor who obviously was showing off his knowledge.
He then continued...Do you know that women would kill to get those cheek pads and men would do the same in order to have their strength! I've been working on this secret formula using the DNA of these apes and injecting them in ..can you believe it ...Olives! However, now that you know of my involvement I'm going to have to...... |

"Have my pet here take care of business!"
"Ok, but just one more thing... You know this medical table of yours, I really like the leather finish, very smooth, very neat, do you polish it yourself? The doctor grinned, obviously pleased to have his handy work praised. "well, no actually... I have my receptionist polish it between patients.... Now then..." "Oh by the way Doctor...." Columbo continued ...

My pointing and hand gestures were not done aimlessly - You see my wife is an avid animal lover and we watch a lot of National Geographic channels. I recognize that Bobo here knows sign language and I explained that you plan on neutering him on this very table." With that, the great ape whacked the doctor on the head and rendered him unconscious. Columbo reached into the Doctors pocket and retrieved a list of addresses. Quickly getting out of the Toga and grabbing Bobo to return him to the sanctuary from which he was stolen the previous year...Columbo and Bobo headed out the door...

To be stopped dead in their tracks by Philo Beddoe.
"Moonlighting, Clyde?" he grumbled in disappointment, "I shoulda known." "Clyde my river Seine!" Mons. Dupin, countered, stepping from the linen closet, "This is the ourang-outang responsible for the murders in Rue Morgue!" Columbo was unshaken. "Somebody's lying," he declared sharply, "and I know who."

"You, Philo, former champion of bareknucking have lost your edge in recent years and would love to have gotten hold of that DNA spiked olive. You've been duped however. as they had no intention of giving it to you but only used you for your muscle." Pausing to scratch his head, Columbo turned to face Monsieur Dupin and spoke in passable french, " Monsieur Dupin vous etre un imbacile! Le ourang- organg n'est pas las meme qui est responsable pour las crime en Paris.
Columbo continued his summation by pointing out that the now docile Bobo was just an innocent animal thrown into his whole ordeal and the person responsible for this entire mess was non other than.... |

Popeye the Sailor! "Who else could get so mad over misusing an Olive? Who else would get so mad at a vegetable giving someone great strength!" Columbo smiled to himself. "Now we just have to find him, and I think my simian freind here knows just how to find him!"

Columbo was looking forward to finally meeting Gene Hackman aka "Popeye Doyle" and surmised that this indeed was the French Connection.

Columbo and Bobo, the Oranqutan,along with Inspector Dupin headed out the door with plans to visit Popeye Doyle whom was also given the name "sailorman" since he now lived on a house boat in the harbour. "Surely the greatest minds in detective work can finally capture the mastermind behind all of this, the one who funded the project", thought Columbo.
Lola, aka Laurie had already fled the office to warn her boss... |

Famous police detective Lt. Frank Drebin!
She might never have noticed him, had he not been floowing her at a distance of less than one foot. He gave himself away when he stpped in some recently discarded gum and tripped. Drebin landed on top of her in a heap. Lola used language not repeatable here on the Café, and then told Lt. Drebin...

"OMG! You're that crazy cop that once shot 5 people wearing Togas! You're not taking me in!" and with that statement she kicked him and started to run. Lt. Drebin realized right away he made a crucial mistake and had not brought his gun - he felt naked without it. He also knew that woman was not happy to see him.

"I expected something like this." a sharp, nasal voice piped behind Drebin, The hapless police detective turned to see CONTROL agent 86 - Maxwell Smart-- preparing to throw a 'Naked Bomb' at the fleeing femme fatale.
Fortunately, Max did NOT 'miss by that much,' and hit the intended target squarely. Agent 86 smiled knowingly as the smoke cleared and the suspect was revealed sans disguise. "So..." Drebin intoned grimly, "You weren't Lola-Laurie-Chrystal after all! Who would have guessed that you were actually...?"
