Quotes:
[Gerard confronts Herb Malone after Malone is caught driving Barbara Webb's car - to draw Gerard away from Barbara as she helps Richard Kimble save Fred Johnson's life]
Lt. Gerard: I hope you enjoyed your ride tonight, Mr. Malone, because it's going to cost you.
Herb Malone: You'd have a very hard time proving I broke any law and you know it. Now I've been a newspaper man almost as long as you've been a cop, Lieutenant, and I'm not easy to intimidate.
Lt. Gerard: We both know something else. If that woman seen with Kimble was Barbara, she's going to go to jail for a long time.
Herb Malone: I was just out for a drive in her car.
Lt. Gerard: You fired her for just this sort of thing, but you're still in love with her, aren't you?
Herb Malone: That's none of your business. You know I dug out the file on the Kimble case and the jury disproved his story about a one-armed man. What about you, Lieutenant?
Lt. Gerard: The jury chose to believe Kimble invented a story about a one-armed man.
Herb Malone: Well then why are you here if he's looking for an invention?
Lt. Gerard: Because he's come to believe there is such a man. It's not an unusual occurrence, any psychiatrist will tell you so. I've spoken at length about it to several of them. It's the only way he can live with his own conscience.

8/10
Author: James Lawrence (ynot@earthlink.net) from United States

When a congressman's wife is killed in a home invasion, the local chief of police rounds up all the transients he can find, confining them in a fenced area behind the police station. Reporter Barbara Webb, played by actress Janice Rule, working in Dayton as a reporter for a national news service, comes back to her home town to cover the story. She observes that one of the transients is a one-armed man, and puts his photo in the paper, hoping to lure Kimble to town for a bigger story. In fact, both Kimble and Lieutenant Gerard show up.

Kimble chases the one-armed man, who gets in a collision, and requires Kimble's help to save his life. Kimble and Webb try to get his confession, but the only confession he gives is to nod yes to Kimble's question. Kimble learns for the first time that the man's name is (or probably is) Fred Johnson.

Kimble and Johnson, both fugitives, both manage to escape, and the chase goes on.
