Complete story — includes the ending
Rockford has been named the Investigator of the Year for some obscure clerical comparisons he made. A state senator is murdered at the annual P.I. dinner where Jim is to receive his award, and the hapless Freddie Beamer ( James Whitmore Jr. ) is the prime suspect. Rockford bails out Beamer and agrees to help him clear his name, but also in Freddie's camp is true blue investigator Lance White ( Tom Selleck ), to whom clues and solved cases and everyone but Rockford’s high praises come effortlessly. With Simon Oakland, Larry Manetti, Fritzi Burr, Roscoe Born and Erica Hagen. NOTE: 13 months after this episode, Magnum P.I with Selleck and Manetti premiered on December 11, 1980.
