When a woman's body washes up on the beach, murdered, the immediate suspect is her pet Doberman. When it turns out she drowned, but not in the ocean, a small-town detective (James Garner) concludes that it probably wasn't the dog who done it. A laid-back murder mystery that plays like a TV pilot, or an extended episode of "The Rockford Files". Great supporting cast, and an ideal vehicle for Garner, who made acting look so easy for so long, it's easy not to notice how good he really is.
