The Rockford Files - 03x05 Drought at Indianhead River

Summary: Jim’s friend Angel has dropped out of sight – it’s been three months since Jim saw him. Then he has lunch with his wiseguy friend David, and David says something strange: that Angel died. Shocked, Jim asks when and David tells him, “Tomorrow. Wednesday at the latest.” So Jim goes to Angel’s place and finds out Angel has moved to a penthouse in the Sunset Arms Apartments! Sure enough, there’s Angel in new, fancy clothes and at a new, fancy address. Jim digs, and learns Angel is sixty percent owner of the Indianhead River Land Development Company. More digging and a run-in with a mobster only reveal more questions. Who told Angel that some fertile land is dry and useless, and why? Why is an insurance man talking as though Angel were already dead? And how does it all fit together? Before long, Jim finds himself sought in connection with a murder – if he can’t puzzle this one out, Angel will die and Jim will end up back in the box!

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: When Jim returns from his meeting with Dominic Marcon on the golf course, he finds Rocky putting away groceries in his trailer. Rocky approaches him during the conversation holding a box of Grape Nuts Flakes, but during their conversation it turns into a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, even though Rocky never goes back to the grocery bag or the kitchen cabinets.
CONT: When David races out of the trailer after confronting Jim, Jim looks outside to see David's car drive away. But the car, which we heard pull up at the beginning of the scene is now parked way over at the restaurant. There's not enough time for David to run way over there and get in the car.
