Columbo is first seen in a hotel with his mistress Countess Lisl von Schlaf, while Bond is there with Kristatos. He has bugged a conversation between Bond and Kristatos and hears Kristatos's suggestion that Bond may have to kill him.

Columbo has Bond captured just as Emile Locque has killed Countess Lisl and is preparing to shoot Bond, but Bond manages to cheat death by kicking the gun out of Locque's hand, while Locque's accomplice Claus is killed by a harpoon

Later he helps James and Melina get up to St. Cyril's Monastery, Greece - they knew Kristatos was hiding out there because Melina's parrot Max repeated it after hearing Kristatos telling his men where they were all going.

Columbo later chases Kristatos in an aggressive yet brief scuffle, causing Kristatos to lose his footwork and drop the ATAC. When Melina is about to kill Kristatos, Bond begs her not to, referring to Chinese proverbs. Kristatos pulls out a switchblade knife and tries to kill Bond, but Columbo impales him in the back with a knife, killing him instantly.

At the end of the film, when the Prime Minister calls Bond on his watch-phone, he gives it to Max, who says "Give us a kiss!" before dropping it into the sea.
