*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Stuary Margolin goes behind the camera and does an excellent job directing Garner and guest babe Shelley Fabres in this treasure hunt mystery that's peppered with the series' sense of humor.
Shelley plays Jolene, the wife of a convict who's hidden something in Caledonia, California. She hires Rockford to help find whatever it is. Only the local sheriff (Ramon Bieni) would prefer Rockford leave town and not come back. In fact, he insists.
Richard Schall plays Jolene's ex-lover, and her husband's former partner. He also holds a key to the treasure. They have to work together to find it while a couple of ex-cons try and muscle in on the action.
There's a nice action scene where Rockford loses the thugs by driving the Firebird onto an auto transport truck--but not without consequences.
The only drawback to this episode is the lack of chemistry between Garner and Fabres. Maybe after working with Elvis, she just didn't have any interest in anyone else. In any case, they never worked together again.
