I haven't seen the show in 20 years, but as I recall, the plot revolved around the murder of the abbot of a monestary. The monestary of Costello....making the murder victim; the Abbot of Costello (that joke being the only reason I remember anything about the episode other than Stephanie Zimbalist in her underwear). Sketchy details, I know, but possibly enough to find the scene online.

The name of the episode you mentioned is "Vintage Steele" - I was able to save a few frames from it to post here.
