Elm Creek

MacGyver visited Elm Creek in Nebraska to help with the Phoenix Foundation’s project to build a geothermal power station at the nearby hot springs. While there he stumbled upon an elaborate UFO hoax being run by a couple of con-artists calling themselves the Rigels who were trying to con a local family out of their life’s savings. 

MacGyver’s attempts to help where rejected and hindered by the local sheriff, but he received unexpected assistance from Phil Sternwise, a mysterious vacuum cleaner salesman who always seemed to turn up at exactly the right time.
