Framed

C.L. Burke (lewis fitz-gerald), a 22nd century fugitive, becomes an important agent for the International Security Agency (ISA). His bosses suspect there is a traitor somewhere in the department, but they don't realize that it is Burke. In fact, they entrust the assignment of finding the traitor to Burke. Burke decides to use the agency to solve an unrelated problem of his own--Darien Lambert (Dale Midkiff). Using 22nd century techniques, Burke can prove that Darien is the traitor. His partner in the deception is Andrew Michaels (Peter Webb), another ISA agent and fugitive from the future.

Burke kills a fellow ISA agent but makes it appear that Darien is the killer. Darien evades the agency when they try to arrest him. Then he sneaks into ISA headquarters and uses their computers to discover who in the ISA world want to blame him for murder. He learns of Burke and Michaels. Darien is aided by Tulsa Giles (Mary-Margaret Humes), an attractive, if eccentric, government computer worker.

Tulsa has access to the ISA computers through her General Finance office job with the government. But her computer can only access the financial records. That doesn't stop Darien, though. Using Tulsa's computer, Darien learns who the dead ISA agent was that h is accused of murdering and who the dead agent's partner is. Darien wants to question the partner. But when he goes to the partner's house, he finds the partner has also been killed.

Darien teams up with Tulsa again. Certain that the fugitives will kill the director of the ISA next, Darien goes to the director's house, bringing Tulsa with him. Darien plans to let Tulsa ask the director to meet him at a rendezvous, away from other ISA agents. By the time Tulsa identifies herself and is let inside the house, however, Burke and Michaels have already killed the director. Burke tells Tulsa that he's director. She tells him all about Darien and the rendezvous.

Burke and Michaels go to the meeting place and set a trap for Darien. But Darien is too clever. After Burke leaves, he catches Michaels and sends him back to the future. The ISA doesn't hear from Michaels and Burke reveals that he knows the director has been killed before anyone, except the killer, could know. Burke is arrested and sent to prison. In prison he meets Warden Faulkner, who reveals that he is another fugitive from the future. Together, they plan to eliminate Darien.
