John Steed and Cathy Gale are on a mission to track down and capture a wanted man, Rudolph Kellerman, who has escaped from prison. Kellerman is a dangerous criminal who is known for making elaborate escape plans. The Avengers must use all of their skills and resources to find Kellerman before he disappears again.
Steed and Gale begin their search at Kellerman's last known location, an underground club where he frequented. They find that the club is owned by a man named Jacques Beronneau, who Steed believes may be working with Kellerman. Steed sends Gale in undercover as a singer to gather information and keep an eye on Beronneau.
Meanwhile, Steed follows up on another lead and meets with a man named Jeavons, who was Kellerman's cellmate in prison. Jeavons agrees to help Steed track down Kellerman in exchange for a reduced sentence. Jeavons provides Steed with information on Kellerman's relationships and known associates.
As Gale continues to gather information at Beronneau's club, she meets a woman named Mina, who she suspects may also be working with Kellerman. Gale follows Mina to a secluded mansion where she discovers Kellerman has been hiding out. Gale reports back to Steed with this information, but they must act fast before Kellerman disappears again.
Steed and Gale devise a plan to capture Kellerman with the help of Jeavons. They stage a fake escape attempt for Jeavons, hoping to lure Kellerman out of hiding. The plan works, and they successfully capture Kellerman.
However, things take a turn when Beronneau arrives at the scene and demands Kellerman be released to him. Steed and Gale soon realize they are dealing with a much bigger conspiracy than just capturing Kellerman. They find themselves in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Beronneau and his accomplices.
The Avengers must use all of their skills and resources to outsmart Beronneau and bring him and his accomplices to justice. But with everything on the line, they must act fast before it's too late.
Overall, "Hunt the Man Down" is a thrilling episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The intricate plot, clever tactics, and strong performances from the cast make it a standout episode in the first season of The Avengers.
