In this episode, Rockford is approached by a man named Tom Selleck, who hires him to find his missing girlfriend named Jill. Although Selleck is not very forthcoming with information, Rockford agrees to take on the case.

Rockford follows up on a few leads and soon learns that Jill has been involved with some shady characters in the past. He tracks her down to a secluded beach where she is living in a trailer with a man named Kenny. When Rockford tries to talk to Jill, she becomes hostile and refuses to cooperate with him.

As he continues to investigate, Rockford is targeted by Nicky and his associates. They threaten him and try to scare him off the case. But Rockford isn't easily intimidated and keeps digging. He is eventually able to track down the stolen money and piece together what really happened during the robbery.

In the end, Rockford helps Jill turn her life around and start fresh. He also puts Nicky and his associates behind bars, bringing closure to the case. As always, Rockford's wit and tenacity are on full display in this thrilling episode of The Rockford Files.
