Plot summary
An author ( Barbara Babcock ) hires Rockford to track down an old Hollywood director ( Paul Stewart ), but she is actually after a valuable Watteau painting that went missing several decades before. Also after it are two Germans from the Nazi era, and two investigators (Maurice Marsac and Roger Etienne) from the Sûreté seeking to return the painting to France. The Germans kill the director, and there were other mysterious deaths in the painting’s recent past. But all the knowledge from all the previous investigations is not getting anyone any closer to the painting. With Byron Morrow, Irene Tsu and Alex Rodine.
