The third episode of the series finds Dr. Kimble washing up in a washed-up hamlet, a coal-mining town where the coal-mining business has died. Local bullies pick a fight with him in the one thriving business in town, the local bar; when the cops arrive, naturally they try to arrest the stranger. They are soon distracted, and Kimble slips away, finding refuge in the ramshackle hovel where a rough-hewn but beautiful young girl (Sandy Dennis) lives with her "grams." Lt. Gerard has tracked Kimble to this God-forsaken place, and, enlisting the local constabulary, begins hunting Kimble through abandoned (and dangerous, because of frequent and sudden mine collapses) mine shafts. The independent-minded young lady decides to help Kimble escape. One of the best scenes comes when she confronts one of the local ne'er-do-wells (played by Frank Sutton, best known as the long-suffering Sgt. Vince Carter on "Gomer Pyle, USMC), who had been deputized by the sheriff to aid in the manhunt for Kimble, and cleverly tells off this slimebag (who is always hitting on her).
