"Meteor" Murdock places a one million dollar bounty on Tommy's head, but only if he is brought in alive. Many criminals make the attempt but their desire not to harm Tommy brings about their capture. It transpires that Murdock was behind bars the whole time, the scheme being hatched by Tommy and his superior officer, in order to catch numerous escapees from the federal prison.
