Jim Rockford, an ex-convict pardoned for an armed robbery he didn't commit, is a private investigator who specializes in closed cases. His oversized mobile home (which doubles as his office) is in a parking lot next to the Malibu pier. His pricey fee of $200 a day plus expenses makes it hard for him to attract clients, but he is well worth it. He is sometimes assisted by his father Joseph (aka Rocky), his best friend Sgt. Dennis Becker of the LAPD, his lawyer/girlfriend Beth Davenport, and his former cellmate Evelyn "Angel" Martin.
