Kimble, running from the police, climbs a wall and finds himself in a home for the blind. He is mistaken for a volunteer from the Good Neighbor Society, but one of the residents, former police chief Dan Brady (actor Ed Begley), hears about the manhunt on his radio. He becomes suspicious of Kimble, and begins to investigate.
The interim chief, Barney Vilattic (actor Richard Anderson), is facing a city council vote on whether to make him permanent chief. An unsuccessful hunt for Kimble could jeopardize his chances. Meanwhile, Dan Brady, though blind, feels he is still the best man for the job, and hopes that capturing Kimble will restore him to the chief's position.
