The doc is working at an old Southern plantation, only this time he's working as a lab tech and not picking peanuts. The drama starts when the kindly plantation owner's daughter returns from a sanatorium after having a breakdown. Old dad has neglected to tell her that he's remarried after losing his loving wife. The new wife is.not happy about the daughter's homecoming. Without even being asked, she tells Kimble that there's only room for one sow at the trough, and that sow is her. Dorito is a classy belle. Anyways, the reason Janis was sent away was because she was present when some vicious dogs attacked and killed a young boy she took on a picnic. Ants are bad enough, but vicious dogs? So she had a breakdown and was sent away. Daddy is somehow unaware of Dorito's intentions, although they seem obvious and she blurted them out to Kimble. Her plan is to pay a local hound guy to bring his dogs into the woods at night and make them howl. No one else has heard the dogs except for Kimble, who heard them above his blasting radio. Dick likes his music loud. And yet no one else hears the dogs. When he says he heard it too, Dorito sics the sheriff on him. The sheriff happens to have a thing for Janis. Everything gets out in the open when everyone runs after Janis who is running into the woods when she hears the dogs again. And there are the dogs, in the flesh, along with their owner and Dorito. Well, the marriage is over and the sheriff apologizes in Kimble. Dick tells him his sister in having an emergency and he has to go see her. And he will give the sheriff the address as soon as he can figure out where she lives. So the doc has brought yet another family together and in the process, escapes to remain....the fugitive.
