Jim Rockford is back in action in the second season of The Rockford Files, and he's got a new case to solve in episode 4 entitled "Gearjammers (2)." The episode picks up where the previous one left off, with Rockford still trying to track down a group of rogue truckers who are using their rigs to smuggle illegal goods into the country.
With the help of an attractive young journalist who's been investigating the trucking industry, Rockford infiltrates the group and gets close to their leader, a tough-as-nails woman named Red (played by Joanna Cassidy).
As he works to gain her trust and figure out the extent of her criminal activities, Rockford finds himself drawn into a complex web of deceit and betrayal. Along the way, he must also navigate his personal life, including his ongoing relationships with his father and his girlfriend, lawyer Beth Davenport (played by Gretchen Corbett).
