When the story begins, Davey Lambert (Jack Westin) and Bill Carter (Richard Kimble...played by David Janssen) are in jail together. They make a break for it and travel to Davey's family home. There 'Bill' is shocked to see that his brother, Frank, and father treat Davey like he's worthless. Frank calls him Fatso and constantly makes fun of him and Bill even caught Frank whipping Davey--and Bill knocks the crap out of Frank. It seems that the two blame Davey for being a coward and stupid, worthless person...and Bill is determined to straighten this out because even though he's on the run, he's also a very decent guy and never neglects to help others. He needs to get Davey to stop drinking or running to avoid facing his problems...to give him the strength to be a man and demand better from his family and others. But at the same time, he is worried as Frank now has it out for him...and Frank is a real jerk!! How much of a jerk? Watch the show and find out for yourself.
This is one of the better episodes of "The Fugitive"...which is saying a lot considering how good the show was week after week. The story is exceptional and the acting very effective. Well worth seeing.
