When the show begins, Kimble finds himself aboard a freight car with some escaped prisoners. One has already died from his wounds, another is badly injured and another is unharmed...and then there's Kimble. Kimble treats the injured man, and probably in hindsight wishes he hadn't. When Kimble tries to escape, the two men take him prisoner...after all, the injured leader might need more medical attention.

Soon the men leave the train car and make their way to a home with a woman and her grown daughter. The pair are kept prisoner and eventually the daughter leaves with the prisoners to drive them to safety. What's next? See the show.

In this case, you have three convicted killers--all very, very different. Kimble was unjustly convicted, one was a boxer who hit a guy too hard and was convicted of manslaughter and the third a true sociopath...a guy who simply kills because it serves his purposes! Well written and a very interesting look at three very different men.

Dick is being chased as this one opens, so he hops in to a convenient box car. Since nothing good ever happened to the doc in a box car, it's no surprise that there are 3 escaped criminals in the same box car, one dead, one wounded and one unscathed. Kimble is a doctor, so he treats the head baddie, Paul Richards as pinky. The other live one is Lou Antonio as Terry Malloy, an ex boxer. Dick says he read about him, how he was a middleweight contender. Malloy says he coulda been a contender, "instead of a bum, which is what I am. Let's face it." He hit a longshoreman and killed him. Manslaughter. They get off the train and go to a woman's house. Pinky is polite and tells her not to worry, but she's too pilled up to care about anything. Her grown daughter comes home and she doesn't seem worried either. Pinky is just that calm and reassuring. It turns out that mama knows just who everyone is, including Dr Richard Kimble. Pinky comes up with a plan to get out of there which features Kimble wearing the daughter's dead husband's army uniform. As they're leaving, they see the housekeeper arriving at the house. They go back, but not before the housekeeper finds mama's dead body. See, pinky is a stone killer. So she calls the cops and then everyone comes in and pinky pushes the housekeeper and she disappears for the rest of the episode. Terry , at the urging of Kimble, turns himself in and Dick drives away, still wearing an officer's uniform and not having money to buy civilian clothes. But no matter what he's wearing, Richard Kimble remains.....a fugitive.

Once again Richard Kimble finds himself among real criminals who are also on the run. In fact the lesser of the two here is played by Lou Antonio, who had been the dominant one in the first such episode, "See Hollywood and Die". Here the boss man is the excellent Paul Richards, who plays him as a well-mannered, almost friendly but totally ruthless psychopath. He's been wounded in a shoot-out and when Kimble crawls into the boxcar they are hiding in, they need him to treat him so he stays at gunpoint.

Once off the train, they invade the home of two widows, Virginia Gregg and her daughter, Shirley Knight. They behave as if they are invited house guests- until Shirley's boyfriend, a policeman shows up. She gets him to leave and they all take part in Richards' plan to get them out of town , which involve Kimble putting on one of Shirley's husband's old military uniforms. It also involves Richards strangling Gregg so as to not leave any witnesses .

It seems inconvenient for Dr. Kimble that he gets away in his military uniform and no other clothes to wear.

One of the better episodes, this one features an outstanding performance by actor Paul Richards as escaped convict Neil Pinkerton. Pinkerton is intelligent and philosophical, but also violent and psychologically warped.

After hopping a train, Kimble runs into escaped convicts Pinkerton and Mooney, and a third escapee already dead. Kimble, hoping to save his life, offers to help patch up Pinkerton, who is wounded. Pinkerton forces Kimble to accompany them to the house of an innocent woman and her grown daughter. Meanwhile, police are searching hard for the escapees.

Kimble faces a daunting task of remaining on escape himself, while thwarting the evil plans of Pinkerton.
