Thorson grows tired of it and Dotty threatens to leave him due to his uncertain feelings towards being there for her. Meanwhile, Rocco Mason begins terrorizing Dotty at her workplace which leads Thorson to try to protect her, but she instead tries to make him give up his bounty hunter way of life and to take her to a Lamaze class. Thorson arrives back at the local airport with the destroyed Trans Am on a trailer, and brings the Branch Brothers on a plane back to Los Angeles. Thorson commandeers a combine machine and chases after the two Branch Brothers through a cornfield, which ends when a stick of dynamite dropped by them blows up their car, but they both survive. He heads to the Branch farmhouse where the two psycho brothers steal his car and try to kill him with dynamite. He flies out to Nebraska and ends up with a fancy 1979 Pontiac Trans Am hire car, which he struggles to drive. Thorson's adventures continue when he is sent to rural Nebraska to bring back two fugitives, called the Branch Brothers. However, Thorson himself is pursued by a psychotic killer who was one of Thorson's former convicts, Rocco Mason ( Tracey Walter), who begins stalking Thorson at his home and begins following Dotty around as well.
Thorson works for elderly and veteran bail bondsman Ritchie Blumenthal ( Eli Wallach) who sends him out on dangerous assignments to chase down fugitives in all parts of the USA. His schoolteacher girlfriend Dotty ( Kathryn Harrold) is pregnant and would like "Papa" to be there for her when the baby is born, but his work continually keeps him on the road. However, Thorson vouches for Price, and thus soon after becomes one of his many acquaintances who hang out at Thorson's house.Īt home, Thorson is revealed to be an old-fashioned guy who has a love of antiques and classical music, drives a 1951 Chevy and keeps an antique gasoline pump in his house. Thorson drives both Tommy Price and Billie Joe back to Los Angeles, where he collects his $1,800 reward for bringing them back. Papa ignores him and ends up in a violent fight with the fugitive, who is so huge, even a beanbag stun gun barely stops him. Next, Thorson drives to Houston where he is to bring in a dangerous punk, named Billie Joe, whose kinfolk include Sheriff Strong ( Ben Johnson), a corrupt redneck lawman who warns Thorson not to get involved. In the opening scene, Ralph "Papa" Thorson ( Steve McQueen) arrives in a small town in Illinois where despite being a terrible driver of cars (a running joke used throughout the film), he captures fugitive Tommy Price ( LeVar Burton) for fleeing on his bail.
