Rockford Files in "The Big Ripoff"

Buckle up for a classic conundrum with The Rockford Files episode The Big Ripoff, now on Rumble (WolvMarine)! Originally aired in 1974 as part of Season 1, Episode 8, this clever 60-minute adventure stars James Garner as the sharp-witted private investigator Jim Rockford, with Noah Beery Jr. as his dad Rocky and Joe Santos as Sgt. Dennis Becker. Rockford is hired by Nancy Fraser (Linda Deen) to probe the suspicious death of her ex-lover Steve Nelson, potentially at the hands of his wife Virginia (Suzanne Somers). But when Rockford uncovers that Steve faked his death for an insurance scam, Nancy skips town without paying his fee—leaving our hero to chase her to a California mountain town for his due. Along the way, he crosses paths with free-spirited artist's model Marilyn Polonski (Jill Clayburgh in her only Rockford appearance) and dodges a town full of shady suspects. Enhanced with retro visuals to amp up the 70s detective vibe, this episode is packed with twists, humor, and Rockford's signature charm!
