This solid episode has Jim's old Colonel desperately trying to reach him as two crooked men in different uniforms are hunting him down, but he's unsuccessful, and shortly after is found dead in what is called an auto accident. It doesn't take his daughter and Rockford long to figure out that he was murdered, and it turns out the reason was because he was getting wise to the fact that those around him were smuggling guns with a certain millimeter(5.56), although I forget who's receiving the guns; the theft also includes help by morticians revolving around coffins. As we find out later, even though Rockford wasn't a huge fan of the murdered man, it turns out that Colonel Bowie(Frank Maxwell)saved his life during the Korean War, and Jim feels an obligation to Bowie and his daughter Shana, played by Jesse Welles. Watch for good performances by Charles Napier, who plays a crooked cop, and Mitchell Ryan, who plays Colonel Hopkins, an old comrade of Bowie's and gives Rockford the support and help he'll need to crack the case. Rocky and the Firebird only make brief appearances. Some scenes look filmed near or at an army base, plus there's a cool helicopter scene when Jim, Hopkins, and others eventually capture the bad guys. This wasn't the most memorable episode to me, but was still solid enough for recommendation for any fan.
