Synopsis by Hal Erickson

George Savano (Edward Binns), an auto-parts dealer with mob connections, hires a new employee named Chris Benson--who, of course, is really fugitive Richard Kimble (David Janssen). When his sister Stella Savano (Diana Hyland) shows signs of being attracted to Kimble, the fiercely protective George warns Kimble to lay off or else. What George doesn't know is that Stella has already had a torrid affair with another employee, Jesse Strangl (Joseph Campanella), which resulted in an illegitimate baby. To prevent George from killing Jesse should he ever learn the truth, the delusional Stella convinces herself that Kimble is the father of her child.
