    • Trivia
      Filmed in a small town in Connecticut known as Thompson. Which is located in the northeast corner of the state.
    • Goofs
      When John and Brad are depicted as being on the train to New York City, the scenes through the train car's windows are bouncing up and down as if the rear-screen projection shots used were from a vehicle on the road, not from a train.

    Painter runs afoul of the law

    Good drama about a man chased by hot headed vigilantes and the police for a crime he claims to be innocent of. Along the way he is aided by a group of kids who believe in his innocence. Very exciting show with a satisfying ending.
