Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEvery time a(ny )character says the company name, 'Fiscal Dynamics,' the line's been looped (dubbed) from the original (Financial Dynamics). This was done, most likely, due to a real company by this name being identified between the completion of the script, and post-production. But, in the first part of the 4th season 2-part episode, (The House on Willis Avenue (1978)) Richie Brockleman congratulates Rockford on his work on the 'Financial Dynamics' case, which probably means the name-change dubbing didn't happen 'til after this - most likely when the series' ended its network run, and went on to syndication.
- GoofsJim calls police and says"Lieutenant Becker, please. Becker didn't become a Lieutenant until season 5. This is only season 1.

Featured review
An early 2-part episode that will hold your interest throughout !
This is a very-good first part of a solid 2-part show. As far as being entertaining and fast-moving this is a definite winner. The tale itself is sinister and frighteningly-creepy. The various players in this strange story are obviously very-serious and very dangerous. Exactly what is really going-on here is hard to tell,as the details are rather murky indeed. This first-half here is a great introduction and set-up of the whole-story,and the complete story we eventually do get-to see is an awful-lot to digest.
At the time this episode was made,the events depicted in this episode would have been considered rather far-fetched and unlikely. Today,everyone pretty-much knows and accepts that this type of stuff really-is going-on all of the time. This tale here is another 'one of many' examples of the Rockford Files tv series being way-ahead of it's time when it comes to social and criminal matters.
I enjoyed watching both halves of this rather engaging tale!
I say 8/10,this is a great,earlier 2-part episode!
