Featured review
Kimble gets deputized!!
The fact that the fight scene was so badly done at the end AND the episode still earns an 8 means it must have been a very good one indeed...and an ironic one as well.
The story begins with a guy running out of a house. When the two workers see this, they enter the house and find the husband and wife dead...murdered. Soon the young guy who MAY have committed the murders is apprehended. But in this loser town, the folks would sooner hang him and be done with it instead of take him to the jail at the county seat. For that reason, in a REALLY ironic twist, Richard Kimble joins the men taking the prisoner to jail...as he is well aware that the man might not make it there and the posse just hang him. When the deputy in charge gets drunk, the hanging appears imminent...and Kimble escapes out a window with the suspect. What's next? See the show.
The notion of a wanted criminal being deputized makes this an interesting episode...especially when the man is accused of murder as well. All in all, a very interesting story BUT one that really looked shabby during the big fight scene at the end. Rarely have I ever seen stuntmen double this badly for the star of the show...and it's obvious to anyone watching that that is NOT David Janssen involved in most of the fight!
FYI...this is the second episode in season one where Bruce Dern appears. In both, he lived in a crappy small town and was essentially a very trashy, awful person.
