Jaclyn Smith and Kim Basinger in Charlie’s Angels (1976) Angels in Chains
S1E4
The agency is hired by Christine Hunter, who is trying to locate her sister, Elizabeth Hunter. They are each other's only family. What Christine knows is that Elizabeth was arrested in Pine Parish, Louisiana on trumped-up drug possession charges as she was backpacking though the area, and sentenced to one-year incarceration at the Pine Parish Prison Farm for Women. Christine had never been able to see Elizabeth in prison, the prison officials always giving one excuse or another. What Christine has subsequently been told is that Elizabeth has since been paroled. However, Christine is certain that if Elizabeth had indeed been released, she would have been in contact. With only Pine Parish Deputy Sheriff Dan Winston helping them in being a contact - he who admits he has been kept on the outside of any of the prison's affairs - the Angels may be in for a difficult case as they have to get inside the prison as inmates themselves. Once inside, they have to gain the confidence of the other inmates to find any trace of Elizabeth having been there. This task may be difficult in that the other inmates are scared, many of whom are also on the inside on trumped-up charges of one form or another such as Elizabeth, and as the Angels faced themselves in getting into the prison.
*Kim Basinger auditioned to be an Angel but was rejected. Then she went on to Hollywood and became a bigger star than any of the angels ever did, including Farrah.
