9. The Mayor's Committee from Deer Lick Falls

Complete story — includes the ending

Four respectable seeming citizens hire Rockford to shop for a used fire engine for their town. One of them, Everet Alton Benson ( Edward Binns ), also hires Jim to find his niece, Lauren Ingeborg ( Priscilla Barnes ), who has come to L.A. to be an actress. When Rockford reports that he has found her, the four offer him $20,000 to have her killed. When Rockford reports it to the police the four deny it and file a complaint against him, which could cost Rockford his P.I. license. Meanwhile they continue to plot to kill the niece, who also does not believe Jim’s claim, and later they attempt to kill Jim too. With Charles Aidman, Jerry Hardin, Richard Sanders, Fritzi Burr, David Ruprecht, Clark Howat and Richard O'Brien.
