Samuel Cole (Arthur O'Connell) is an old man who was forced to retire from the police force. But he's determined to show everyone he's STILL a force to be reckoned with, so when Richard Kimble is spotted, Sam decides to capture the man himself and prove to everyone that he still has it. At the same time, the hot-shot Sheriff (Don Gordon) is also determined to bring in Kimble...and he's not about to let the old man upstage him...even if that means possibly fighting Sam for the prisoner! On the long trek back into town, the Sheriff keeps looking for an opportunity to get the gun away from Sam and take Kimble himself. In essence, Kimble is just a pawn being tossed between the two men and he is just hoping that when the big conflict occurs that he's able to take advantage of it and make his escape.
This is an odd one...folks fighting over who gets to bring in a man to justice! It works pretty well...mostly because the viewer really isn't sure just how far the Sheriff will go to get Kimble.
