Jim Rockford takes a case, takes a beating, and somehow still cracks wise in a hospital gown.
After a quiet fishing trip, Rockford is tricked into taking over a fellow PI's case involving alleged Police misconduct, which lands him in the hospital, hounded by a beautiful reporter, and out of favor with the entire Police Deapartment. Meanwhile Angel tries to cash in on the publicity by selling a movie about Rockford's life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the final Rockford Files TV movie, ending Jim Rockford's on-screen adventures after nearly 25 years.
The title 'Shoot-Out at the Golden Pagoda' is pure 70s-series nostalgia — fake episode titles were a running gag in the original opening credits.
