Once again "The Rockford Files" borrows from Hitchcock's formula of getting an innocent man involved in circumstances he knows nothing about and it works to perfection with a great script and terrific performances.
Rocky has won a trip to Hawaii (something they forgot about in season six's Hawaii episode) and so Jim is getting his mail forwarded to him. He surprised to say the least when an envelope full of hundred dollar bills arrives for a total of $11,000 one day (a few bills of which Angel sneaks away!) Day after day the money keeps coming in with no clue as to why. Jim can't reach Rocky and the next thing you know, the Feds (including one agent who's a dead ringer for former California governor Grey Davis!) , the cops and the bad guys are all after Rockford.
The script is tight and full of humor. It makes good use of Angel, the fetching Gretchen Corbett as Beth and "Magnum" regular Roger E. Mosely as loan shark Electric Larry.
