MacGyver season 1 episode 21, titled "A Prisoner of Conscience," follows MacGyver as he sets out to help a priest, Father Jim, who has been falsely accused of murder and imprisoned. MacGyver believes Father Jim is innocent and is determined to prove it.

The episode starts with Father Jim preaching at his church when he is approached by a group of armed men. They accuse him of the murder of a young woman and take him into custody. Despite Father Jim's protests of innocence, the evidence seems to be stacked against him.

MacGyver comes to know about Father Jim's situation and feels concerned about his friend. He decides to investigate the case and starts looking for evidence that could help exonerate Father Jim. MacGyver enters the prison disguised as a priest to gain access to Father Jim and discuss the case with him.
