Quotes

Narrator: [Closing Narration] Justice can be delivered by a final act of violence, or it can be elusive and taunting as it has become for Richard Kimble. For him justice hides around the next bend in the road, beyond the next mountain, on the bus just pulling out. Somewhere, sometime, he will it. And so, he moves on.

Plot summary

Kimble works for a trucking company run by Gus Hendricks (actor Jack Klugman). Gus is a poor businessman and is in financial trouble. In addition, Lucia (actress Geraldine Brooks) is always asking for a handout. Gus feels responsible for her and her children because of the circumstances under which her husband died while in his employ.

Gus is tempted by an offer from sleazy criminal Ernie Svoboda (actor Michael Constantine) to commit insurance fraud. At the same time, an insurance company investigator is bothered by Gus's claims record and is poking around. Gus is being squeezed on all sides, and Kimble is caught up as well.
