Complete story — includes the ending
Rockford is left facing the rap when, returning from a losing gambling trip in Las Vegas that was so bad a casino is holding onto his car, he accepts a ride from a windbag, Bernard Petrankus ( Sully Boyar ), and is behind the wheel of his Cadillac when it is pulled over by police and its trunk is found full of illegal weapons. When Rockford tries to clear himself he learns there is no record of his arrest statement and the stenographer who took it is missing. Jim teams up with Mrs. Bateman ( Marge Redmond ), the head of the office steno pool, to search for her. They find themselves involved with the FBI, the ATF, and a CIA-like agency that is bent on selling weapons to overseas guerillas. With Lane Smith, Charles Weldon, Roscoe Born, Glenn Corbett, Mitzi Hoag and Lawrence P. Casey.
