Ben Justin is a nice guy around Dodge with his wife anticipating a baby. But a large landowner, Garth Brantley, has been wanting Ben's farm for a period of time and now gets his son to testify that Ben stole horses. Ben is sentenced to life in prison even though most believe that he was set up by Brantley.
In prison, Ben is being harassed by jailers when he knocks one against the wall and escapes. But during the escape the jailer is stabbed by another but everyone believes that it was Ben who killed the jailer. He flees back to his wife that has just delivered his baby girl.
It is not long before word gets back to Dodge that Ben has escaped. When Festus follows a trail on a theft it takes him right to the Justin's farm. Festus finds Ben and says he will have to come with him. But when Ben's wife intervenes, Ben now has the upper hand.
The remaining of the episode is different from most shows. One that the viewer will have to see to get the full picture of the events. Good watch.
