Actors Telly Savalas and Beau Bridges play father and son Steve and Gary Keller. Gary, while talking to his father, aimlessly fires a shot from a rifle. Unfortunately, the shot hits and kills Reverend Barlow, driving in his vehicle with Richard Kimble as his passenger. Kimble sees the Kellers approach and runs, stopping to ask someone to call police.
A manhunt is started, and Steve Keller is deputized. Wishing to protect his son, he decides he needs to blame the killing on the passenger. However, Gary, a sensitive, intelligent young man, is conflicted, as Rev. Barlow was a good friend and benefactor to him, helping to promote his art career.
Lieutenant Gerard arrives, and the stakes are high for Gerard, Kimble, and both the Kellers.
