  1. THE ANIMAL
    Original Airdate: Apr. 17, 1966

Synopsis. In Oregon, Erskine and Rhodes trail Earl Clayton (played by Charles Bronson), a convicted murderer who headed for the Northwest after breaking out of a federal prison in Las Casas, New Mexico, along with four other inmates. The escape took place on the night before Clayton’s scheduled execution. Though charming and amiable, Clayton is also exceptionally dangerous. Fellow fugitive Lambert Hayes (played by Tim McIntire) describes him as a cougar: the type of animal who kills more than he can eat, “just to be doing it.”
