James Garner as Detective Rockford

Storyline

Mark Hayes, a former probation officer, has gone freelance in the meantime and now manages a a detective agency where he also works as a private investigator. When he asks his former protege, Jim Rockford, to attach a GPS transmitter on the vehicle of two criminals, he does not tell him anything but the essential.

Rockford would gladly like to help his old friend, but is caught in the process and manages to escape thanks to only a healthy dose of luck.
