Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis series was loosely based on Victor Hugo's novel "Les Miserables". The writer of this episode, Stanford Whitmore, has said that he chose the surname "Gerard" for Kimble's pursuer because it sounded similar to "Javert," who pursues Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables".
- GoofsWhen Vera Miles' character is playing the piano, the camera goes to a full body shot. Her right foot is not the on pedal, which it would need to be to produce the smooth soundtrack music. Instead, her ankles are crossed under the piano bench.
- Quotes

Written by Ruth Lowe (1940)
[Performed at the Branding Iron bar by Vera Miles' character, Monica Welles]
Ed Welles is a major landowner in the state, with enormous influence over the police. He is also paranoid, jealous, controlling and violent where his wife is concerned. She fled Phoenix to Tucson a month earlier to get away from Ed, but he found her and followed her.
Kimble takes the opportunity to explain his story to Monica, thereby informing viewers about why he is on the run. Due to his impeccable, protective behavior, she of course believes in his innocence. Meanwhile, we see Lieutenant Gerard back in Stafford discussing the case with Captain Carpenter. Carpenter suggests that maybe Kimble is innocent, but Gerard declares it does not matter to him whether Kimble is factually innocent or guilty. The law declared him guilty, and it is not up to Gerard to decide on guilt or innocence, but merely to obey the law and bring in the fugitive.
Child actor Donald Losby (who later plays Sean in "Cry Uncle") plays Monica's son, who at first is cold to Kimble, but later comes to like and trust him more than his own dad.
Actors Harry Townes and Dabbs Greer are very credible as the two police officers whom Ed employs to chase Kimble out of town. Kimble faces severe danger from the police, and from the violent behavior and desire for revenge of Ed Welles.
