Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After rescuing several children from a burning school bus, a seriously injured Kimble (David Janssen)--alias "George Porter"--is brought into the home of Al Springer (Frank Overton), sheriff of Northoak. Unaware of Kimble's true identity, Al and his wife Wilma (Nancy Wickmire) take a strong liking to the recuperating stranger, as does everyone else in town. Will this surfeit of goodwill save Kimble from being taken into custody by Lt. Gerard (Barry Morse), or will Al place duty above friendship and turn the fugitive in?
