On his deathbed, a syndicate hitman confesses that it was he who killed Hunter's mobster father fifteen years earlier. No sooner has Hunter (Fred Dryer) digested this news than he learns that the man who put out the contract was his father's former partner--still very much alive. To prove the culprit's guilt, Hunter must locate a prostitute (Kay Lenz) who has vital information before the homicidal ex-partner can strike again. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hunter (Fred Dryer) champions the cause of his old friend Sgt. Charlie Coster (Ramon Bieri) when the man is charged with the murder of his wife. At first it seems that Charlie was up to no good, else why would he have misfiled several recent burglary reports? As it turns out, however, it was the late Mrs. Coster who was covering up for a pair of corrupt cops who have no qualms about bumping off anyone who catches on to their dirty deeds! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hunter (Fred Dryer) has finally nabbed the sociopathic bandit he's been chasing after for weeks. So imagine the detective's dismay and disgust when he is forced to provide police protection for his prisoner, who has offered to turn states' evidence against a mob kingpin in exchange for immunity. And if that wasn't enough of a cross to bear, Hunter must also nail the elusive "Mister Big" before he can get a chance to bump off the slimy witness. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hunter (Fred Dryer) and McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) butt heads with Jimmy Jo Walker (Wings Hauser), a sadistic bounty hunter who has a bad habit of beating criminals to death before hauling them in. Walker's latest target is a murder suspect which Hunter has been pursuing--and when it becomes obvious that the police detective is crimping his style, the brutal bounty hunter adds McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) to his list of potential victims. Needless to say, this situation will not be resolved with a calm, level-headed discussion. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Undercover cop Tony Baretta (Robert Blake) finds himself dealing with a group of disabled protestors, fervently demanding their civil rights from an unsympathetic "normal" society. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An uncharacteristically villainous George Montgomery guest-stars as gunslinger Dan Taggert, who challenges Joe Cartwright to a duel. As an opportunist named Fitts (Robert Ellenstein) begins taking bets on the outcome of the gunfight, Ben and Hoss try to use a soft answer to turneth away Taggert's wrath-but they don't know Taggert. Though the ending is not what one could call tragic, it is hardly a happy one for the easily disillusioned Joe. Also in the cast is future softcore-porn impresario Zalman King as Pete. Written by Sidney Ellis, "The Code" was originally broadcast on February 13, 1966. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In Volume 47 of a collection culled from the 1963-1965 science fiction anthology television series, a computerized form of space travel is discovered. The hitch: a human brain is required before the system can be activated. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Now in Ohio and posing as "Pete Glenn", Kimble (David Janssen) lands a job at a nightclub where Hallie Martin (Janis Paige) is the featured singer. It happens that Hallie is the living image of Kimble's late wife, a fact that fascinates him. Hallie is equally fascinated by Kimble--but her husband Dan (Paul Fix) isn't, and he is poised to make big trouble for everyone concerned. Janis Paige sings several standards, including the old ballad "The Water is Wide". (A point to ponder: If Hallie Martin is a lookalike for Kimble's wife, shouldn't she have been played by Diane Brewster, who was usually seen as the unfortunate Mrs. Kimble in the series' flashback sequences?) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
