讲述了一位对钓鱼的兴趣远远大过工作的私家侦探之种种经历，是一部刑侦推理剧，其与硬汉侦探迥异的个性塑造，以及轻松幽默的破案过程，令该剧与众不同。
Series about an ex-con-turned-private-investigator named Jim Rockford who would rather run away than fight and would rather go fishing than work. He isn"t a coward, and he isn"t lazy--just a bit on the cautious side, that"s all. And he bears a very strong resemblance to Western TV hero Bret Maverick. Rockford is sometimes aided (and sometimes deterred) in his cases by friends Dennis Becker (a police detective), Angel (his cowardly former cellmate) and pretty Beth Davenport (his lawyer).
