The tension level is high from start to finish in this exciting thriller. Kimble is riding on a bus stopped by a police roadblock. An officer boards the bus to check identifications. Before he gets to Kimble, a prison escapee in the back of the bus holds a knife on a young woman to escape. Kimble ends up saving her, but gets stabbed. Against his will, he is taken for treatment to the nearest hospital, at the prison.
At the hospital, Kimble is patched up, but is forced to stay overnight for observation. He and the lady he saved keep pressuring the warden, played by actor Lin McCarthy, to let him go early.
Kimble meets prisoner Mickey Deming, well played by actor Greg Morris (Barney on Mission Impossible), a trustee who works in the hospital ward, and who is concerned about his parole hearing in a couple of weeks. Mickey delivers a note from a prisoner who recognizes Kimble from an Indiana prison. The note demands that Kimble steal morphine and hypodermic needles from the hospital for the prisoners, or they will reveal his identity. Kimble, locked inside the prison, just wants to get out quietly, but he has seen what morphine can do and is reluctant to meet the blackmailer's demands.
