Come Watch Me Die

Richard Kimble wird durch Zufall zum Hilfssheriff vereidigt. Er muss den jungen Mann Bellows zum Gerichtshof transportieren, der ein Farmerehepaar ermordet haben soll. Im selben Bus fahren auch die Zeugen mit, die alle von Bellows Schuld überzeugt sind. Als die aufgebrachten Männer den Fall selbst sühnen wollen, bringt Dr. Kimble den Verdächtigen in Sicherheit. Der nutzt den Tumult und flieht. (Text: Premiere)

While working as a farmhand in a small Nebraska town, Kimble witnesses the arrest of a local man, named Bellows, who is suspected of a double murder. Kimble finds himself 'deputized' by Deputy Bowers to help transport Bellows to the county jail, along with four witnesses who saw Bellows fleeing from a farm house which was the scene of the crime. Bellows convinces Kimble that he (like Kimble with his wife's murder) is an innocent victim of circumstantial evidence; but the townsmen remain unswayed. That night, when the men get drunk and decide to lynch Bellows, Kimble helps him escape. However, Kimble is betrayed when Bellows, who really did kill the farm couple, escapes and holds another farm couple hostage.
