"The Loose Connection" is an excellent episode of "Barnaby Jones". This is because it's so original and unusual....though I also must admit it was a bit farfetched.
Some heroin dealers come up with an odd way of transporting smack over the border from Mexico. A woman pays Barnaby Jones to take her to Mexico, supposedly to find her lost father. However, as they're searching, thugs put drugs into Barnaby's car's water reservoir. The thinking is that since he so often drives to Mexico to fish, border guards will know him and never suspect his car is transporting heroin.
The method for retrieving the drugs is FAR more complicated when you see the show...so complicated you wonder if it's even worth it. However, as I said above, the story is very original and has a neat ending....and is one of the better episodes I've seen.
