Plot summary

Rockford and Eddie ( George Loros ) continue to investigate. Their search has them coming across such record industry staples as egotistical producers and rockers’ ex-lovers, but their best lead is when they learn the missing Brian had passed a recording master of Tim Ritchie’s latest opus to shady industry man Bernie Seldon (Stanley Brock), and the market was subsequently flooded by bootleg albums. Rockford links it to other bits of information he’d learned, and he and Eddie and Whitney ( Marcia Strassman ) find Brian’s body buried in his garden where he lived.

Jim has a meaningful conversation with the grieving Tim Ritchie ( Kristoffer Tabori ). Later the news reports that Seldon has been charged with musical piracy, but no-one has a good idea who killed Brian. Watching, Rockford (with Rocky) and Whitney (with Eddie) have simultaneous realizations on who did it, and head off to prove it. With Lenny Baker, Leigh Christian, Michael Champion, Jesse Dizon and Jean-Paul Vignon.
