After medical school, Kimble served his residency at a hospital in the small town of Fairgreen, Indiana, where he met, and later married, nurse Helen Waverly. Her family lives there still, years after the murder.
When Kimble, on escape, learns that Helen's father Ed is about to go bankrupt and lose his business, he returns to Fairgreen to help, by finding in Helen's things information about an Indianapolis bank account with $5000 in it. However, the risks of going to Fairgreen are enormous. Kimble's face is well known in the town, and Fairgreen is unlike Stafford, where many people know him well, and like him. Even Lieutenant Gerard of Stafford has some respect for Kimble, while the Fairgreen police would just as soon shoot him as bring him in.
Relationships are complex in the Waverly household. Helen's younger sister Terry (actress Louise Sorrel) strongly believes in Kimble's innocence, and has had a huge crush on Kimble since she was a teen. Kimble's arrival interrupts her ongoing romance. Her mother Edith (actress Ruth White) maintains Helen's bedroom as a shrine, spending all day worshiping the artifacts she left behind. Edith hates Kimble intensely, as she believes he killed Helen, and she dwells on Helen to the extent of neglecting Terry. Ed Waverly (actor Lloyd Gough) also believes in Kimble's innocence, though not with the fervor of Terry. He feels he cannot help Kimble without hurting his wife.
Kimble is spotted by police early, and spends most of the episode avoiding the intense police manhunt. In no other episode is Kimble trapped in so small an area, with so many police after him. His capture seems assured. He must escape, but before he can do so, he must put things right in the Waverly household.
