Richard Kimble starts a new job as a farm hand. At a gas station, he learns that he's been recognized. After taking the gas station owner's car, he abandons it at the meadows and heads into the mountains. There, he is tracked down by Samuel Cole, a former county sheriff. The current sheriff, Sheriff Fallon, spots them while up in his helicopter. And then the tug of war begins. The former sheriff insists that Kimble is his prisoner, and he must bring Kimble in himself. The current sheriff wants the glory and credit of bringing in Kimble himself and radios back to the office that he will bring Kimble in. As they trek through the mountains, heading to the nearest town, Sheriff Fallon keeps trying to take Kimble away from Cole, but Cole outsmarts him at every turn. Meanwhile, Kimble must escape the both of them before they reach town.
