last time and sees only darkness.
But in that darkness fate moves it's huge hand"
season 2 opening narration (with still captions)
------------------------------------------------
" Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice.
Falsely convicted for the murder of his wife.
Reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him en route
to the death house.
Freed him to hide in lonely desperation. To change his identity.
To toil at many jobs.
Freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the
scene of the crime.
Freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police
lieutenant obsessed with his capture. "
Loosely based on the real-life case of Dr. Sam Shephard accused of
murdering his wife in Cleveland, Ohio in 1954.

Hi from Wisconsin.
Fascinating bit of long-forgotten trivia for you - during the first season of
the original
FUGITIVE, in an episode titled "Home is the Hunted," (episode 1-15) Richard
Kimble sneaks
back to his hometown to visit his dying father. By the time that episode was
re-broadcast
during the summer re-runs, a major piece of dialog was changed in the "Act I"
narration.
William Conrad re-dubbed the line that cited "Stafford, Wisconsin" as Kimble's
hometown
to "Stafford, Indiana" after viewers alerted producer Quinn Martin that
Wisconsin has
no death penalty. Indiana then remained Kimble's home state for the remainder of
the series.
Also on the FUGITIVE, second season episode "The Survivors" (episode 2-23),
Kimble
visits his former in-laws. His mother-in-law, obsessed with her late daughter,
Helen,
keeps replaying a tape (a sort of audio "letter") that Helen send to her before
her murder.
The voice of that tape is Diane Brewster's, who portrayed Helen in the
flashbacks and
the final episode. She was uncredited.
