Louis Nye guest stars as Zombo, a popular TV horror-movie host. Herman is miffed that his son Eddie idolizes Zombo, ignoring Herman in the process. Inevitably, Eddie learns the time-honored sitcom lesson that appearances are deceiving. Featured in the cast are two future stalwarts of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: Digby Wolfe, a writer-comedian who was in on the ground floor of Laugh-In's development, and announcer Gary Owens. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Now travelling under the name "Pete Allen", Kimble befriends Willie Turner (Denny Miller), a mentally challenged youth who is also on the lam from the law. To protect Willie, Kimble gets the boy a job as a carnival roustabout, but his generosity may result in his own arrest. Ultimately, the only person who can save both Kimble and Willie is Willie's sister Mary (Collin Wilcox)--if she chooses to do so. Featured in the cast are a young, pre-stardom Dabney Coleman and future Hill Street Blues regular Michael Conrad. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Using the alias "Richard Spaulding", fugitive Richard Kimble (David Janssen) pays a visit to his former mentor Dr. Andrew McAllister (Laurence Naismith), now gravely ill and confined to a wheelchair. Because of his virulent "anti-smog" campaign, McAllister is regarded by most people as a harmless crank. The truth, however, is that the doctor has become mentally unhinged, and he intends to lob a spectacular final "protest" against a local smoke-belching factory by destroying it with a bomb--with Kimble unwittingly delivering the explosives. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
In his second Fugitive guest appearance, Jack Klugman is cast as Gus Hendrick, owner of a trucking firm where Kimble (David Janssen)--alias "Bill Douglas"--is currently employed. Though heavily in debt, Gus continues to support his late partner's family, feeling guilty for the man's death. Unable to further provide funds for his partner's lazy, avaricious widow Lucia (Geraldine Brooks), Gus is receptive to a fraud scheme concocted by his false friend Ernie (Michael Constantine)--and as usual, Kimble is caught in the middle of all the intrigue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
