The noisy Wronko family from Indiana, traveling in an RV, sets up to camp next to Rockford’s trailer, but Jim is able to slyly talk the father ( Ken Swofford ) into not staying long. Rockford is called in as a consultant when a stolen $2 million diamond is offered to the insurance company for half price. At the exchange one of the thieves takes the ransom money and reveals he put the diamond in Rockford's barbecue grill. Jim races home but finds his barbecue missing, and realizes it was taken by the Wronkos. It leaves Jim having to explain things to Lieutenant Chapman ( James Luisi ) and the insurance company agent ( George Wyner ), and then track down the family. The two most dangerous members of the gang of thieves (Christopher Cary and Luke Andreas) are after the diamond too, having already shot one of the other gang members. With Hunter von Leer, Joe E. Tata and Paul Cavonis.
