Based on eyewitness testimony, a nasty old man named Justin Briggs (John Anderson) is convicted of the murder of one Eddie Fry--who is not only very much alive, but is actually fugitive Richard Kimble (David Janssen). Now miles away from Briggs' town, Kimble could conceivably keep quiet and avoid arrest by allowing Briggs to be executed. Instead, Kimble's essential decency gets the better of him, and returns to reveal that reports of his death were highly exaggerated. Unfortunately, by this time Briggs himself has been killed while trying to escape--and his hotheaded son Roy (David Macklin) is determined to get even with Janice Cummings (Dianne Foster), whose testimony sent his dad to prison.
