Man on a String

Richard Kimble hilft der jungen Lucy bei einer Autopanne. Tags darauf wird Clark Adams, ein Freund von ihr, tot aufgefunden. Da dieser Lucy eigentlich am Vortag besuchen wollte, fällt der Verdacht sofort auf sie. Nur Dr. Kimble, der zur Tatzeit bei der jungen Frau war, kann das Gegenteil bezeugen. Um die Unschuldige zu entlasten, bringt er sich selbst in Gefahr. (Text: Premiere)

While walking on the road late at night, Kimble comes to the aid of Lucey Russell after her car has broken down. As a gratitude, she provides him her place to stay for the night. But the next morning, the police find the dead body of Lars Adams, a married man whom Lucey has been having an affair with only a few feet where her car broke down. As a result, Lucey is arrested for Lars' murder. Lars' wife, Amy, realizes that her husband was killed accidentally, but after learning of his philandering with Lucey, Amy decides that Lucey should take the rap. Kimble realizes that he can prove Lucey's innocence, but testifying for her could jeopardize his own freedom.
