Jeff Thompson, the best cop in Miami Beach , is hired by the Hotel Owners Association to privateIy investigate criminal activity on their property. Posing as a playboy, the only one who knows Jeff s secret is his chauffeur, Rocky, a former boxer. A Iost gem of Sixties television, Miami Undercover briefIy ran in syndication in 1961. Its star, Lee Bowman, had specialized in playing dashing sophisticates whiIe under contract to CoIumbia in the 1940s. He often romanced the loveliest Ieading ladies, including Rita Hayworth in Cover Girl and Jean Arthur in The lmpatient Years (both 1944.)
