Harold Dale Converse: Fugitive, Bank Embezzlement.

Original air date: 10 November 1968
Rerun 29 June 1969

FBI Inspector Lewis Erskine hunts down a bank embezzler and also tries to protect him from criminals helping in his escape.

• Second episode of three for actress Lee Meriweather. She later starred in the Quinn Martin show, Barnaby Jones, where she played Betty Jones, Barnaby's daughter-in-law and his partner in crime solving. Ms. Meriweather had played Inspector Erskine's love interest, Joanna Laurens, in the first season.
• Speaking of Lee Meriwether, her character in this episode spends all her time in an iron lung. The actress was prone the whole time of shooting. Both William Windom and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. tormented Ms. Meriwether off-screen by tickling her feet!!
• This episode is the second to last appearance of Mr. Windom, who would go on to star in the acclaimed series My World And Welcome To It in 1969-70.
• Bell 47G 3B-1 helicopter FAA number N73957 in this episode. Not the same one used in "The Ninth Man."
