Episode 1Hunter min
Pilot: After spending eight years in prison for crimes (fraud and bribery) he did not commit, James Hunter is released and sets out to clear his name by finding the man who framed him—his former boss, Mr. Ingersoll. He tracks Ingersoll down at the 25th reunion of Ingersoll’s former military unit. Hunter escapes death when a tank attacks him in the hotel's underground parking lot and again when a room service cart explodes. He also falls in love with a prostitute named Marty Shaw. Ultimately, a killer gets sent to jail, but Ingersoll—who is seen throughout the episode only from behind as he gives orders to his henchmen—escapes. Ned Beatty and Linda Evans guest-star. The pilot's premise of Hunter as a wrongly convicted former prisoner seeking justice was not used in the weekly series. Produced in 1976.
