Catskills Cover-Up (Aired February 9, 1954)

There is frequently a beautiful woman involved, some good girls, some bad. Rocky\'s a tough guy who stays just inside of the law but we get an occasional glimpse of a soft heart beneath the hard exterior. It\'s a character that Mr. Sinatra plays nicely. Employed or not, Rocky possesed a variety of skills. During the course of the series, he worked as a process server, museum tour guide, cabbie, bodyguard, chauffeur, truck driver, social director for a Catskills resort and a carny. He could also fake enough bass to play at weddings and bar-mitzvahs. For most of the series, Rocky received his job assignments from the Gridley Employment Agency, usually referred to as just "the agency".
