synopsis
Fugitive Confederate officer Cody Ransom (Jon Cypher) is finally willing to surrender to the Union forces-but only if the Cartwright men act as intermediaries. Unfortunately, by-the-book Northern officer Major Donahue (Hurd Hatfield) insists upon handling the capture all by himself-and he is prepared to resort to violence to get his way. Suzanne Pleshette appears as Rose, a war-weary Southerner desperately trying to put her life back together, while 10-year-old Jodie Foster is seen as Bluebird. Originally shown on March 19, 1972, "A Place to Hide" was written by William D. Gordon and Ward Hawkins.
