List of The Dukes of Hazzard episodes

This is a list of episodes for the 1979–1985 CBS action-adventure/comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard. The show ran for seven seasons and a total of 147 episodes. Many of the episodes followed a similar structure: "out-of-town crooks pull a robbery, Duke boys blamed, spend the rest of the hour clearing their names, the General Lee flies and the squad cars crash". Also, almost every episode would begin with the Duke boys driving along in the General Lee, whether running an errand or just out on a leisurely drive, and inadvertently stumbling upon one of the sheriff's speed traps.

1	1	"One Armed Bandits"	Rod Amateau	Gy Waldron	January 26, 1979 (1979-01-26)	166861
The Duke family lives in Hazzard County, Georgia. Their patriarch is Jesse Duke, a farmer and former moonshiner who's very wise, and probably the most trusted person in six counties; his nephews, Bo and Luke, and his niece, Daisy, live on the Duke farm with him. Jesse raised Bo, Luke, and Daisy after their parents died in an auto accident. The Duke family had been making moonshine for generations. A few years ago, Bo and Luke got stopped on a moonshine run. Jesse swallowed a lifetime of pride and signed a treaty with the U.S. government to stop making moonshine if Bo and Luke could be released on probation. Since then, Jesse has kept his word and no longer runs moonshine. Even though Bo and Luke are on probation, that does not stop them from having their share of fun. They help Jesse run the Duke farm, and they have a souped-up orange Dodge Charger called the General Lee. Daisy works as a waitress at the Boar's Nest, the most popular bar/restaurant in the county. The Boar's Nest is owned by the corrupt Hazzard County commissioner, Boss Jefferson Davis "J.D." Hogg. Boss Hogg owns just about everything in Hazzard County, including bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. Boss would do just about anything to make a dishonest dollar, but he does not condone violence. Boss is planning to have Rosco receive a delivery of slot machines, and Rosco is loyal enough to do whatever Boss tells him to. After about 20 years as one of the best lawmen in the state, most of Rosco’s pension got defeated in the last bond election in Hazzard County, and as a result, Rosco turned bitter and crooked. Now he is up for re-election, against an even more corrupt opponent. After highjacking the shipment of illegal slot machines, Bo and Luke form a plan to distribute the machines to civic clubs and organizations in the area, and use their proceeds from the sales to help the local orphanage get renovated before the health department shuts it down. Guest starring: Tisch Raye as Jill Rae Dodson; Ernie Brown as Dobro Doolan; Dan Fitzgerald as driver; Champ Laidler as Brodie; Gillaaron Houck as Leroy; Lou Walker as Workman; Dennis Haskins as Moss; Sandra Dorsey as Deputy Hazel; Ralph Pace as Harvey; Jason Lively as Rudy. Notes: Many younger Dukes fans may spot a familiar face in this pilot episode: Dennis Haskins, who played the part of Moss. He later became Bayside High School's principal Mr. Belding on Saved by the Bell. Haskins had other recurring guest spots on the Dukes, portraying various characters. Main characters Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones) and Deputy Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer) do not appear in the opening credits and are not recognized until the end credits. This episode includes many scenes shown in the opening credits, such as the first jump seen by General Lee, the police door closing, Tom Wopat's (Luke) scene, John Schneider's (Bo) two scenes, Catherine Bach's (Daisy) four scenes, the second and third scene featuring Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse), James Best's (Sheriff Rosco) scene, Sorrell Booke's (Boss) scene, and the jump at the end.
2	2	"Daisy's Song"	Bob Kelljan	Gy Waldron	February 2, 1979 (1979-02-02)	166862
An Atlanta music-publishing outfit bilks Daisy of $50.00, (a corruption of Boss Hogg's) and the FBI has an eye on the whole scam. Bo and Luke head to town to straighten things out for Daisy and end up messing up a police raid on the place. They hatch a scheme to catch the record pirates red-handed by having Daisy pretend to be a potential client to trick the music outfit's ringleader, Lester Starr, into believing she can fake a number of real-life artists. Meanwhile, after being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Bo and Luke are targeted by the FBI and the local law. Boss has his sights set on getting a tie-in with the syndicate, with a new singer that Starr has to audition for them and Boss, who just happens to be Daisy. Big mistake. Guest starring: Ronnie Schell as Lester Starr; Ginny Parker as Mabel; Clayton Landey as Max; Terry Browning as Ruby; Candy Bleick as Dodie; Wallace Merck as Jojo; Bill Gribble as Carson; J. Roy Tatum as FBI Agent #3; Wallace Wilkinson as FBI Agent #1; Bob Cleveland as FBI Agent #2. Notes: While Bo and Luke are discussing their plan in Atlanta, the sign of the first Mellow Mushroom, a popular pizza chain, can be seen behind Bo. Loretta Lynn's name (as well as Coulter's) are dubbed over at several places in this episode. Bill Gribble, who appears as "Carson", also appeared in Moonrunners as Cooter Pettigrew. This episode marks the first time Cooter does his standard CB intro "Breaker 1, breaker 1. I maybe crazy but I ain't dumb. Crrrrazy Cooter comin' at ya!" This is the only episode where the opening sequence does not contain the YEE HAA from Bo and Luke as they make the jump at the end.
3	3	"Mary Kaye's Baby"	Rod Amateau	William Putnam	February 9, 1979 (1979-02-09)	166864
While running from Enos in Cooter's car, Bo and Luke run into a problem: the car that they are driving is loaded with moonshine that Cooter was to deliver for Boss Hogg. Bo and Luke pick up a hitchhiker whom they recognize as their friend Mary Kaye Porter (Jeanne Wilson), who is now nine months pregnant—and on the run from Atlanta crime boss Quirt McQuade (Cliff Pellow), who is looking for $118,254.37 in money that was stolen from him. McQuade thinks Mary Kaye has the money, and when McQuade tracks Mary Kaye to the Duke farm, where Mary Kaye gives birth to a girl, the Dukes pull out all the stops to protect Mary Kaye and her new baby. Guest starring: Jeanne Wilson as Mary Kaye Porter; Cliff Pellow as Quirt McQuade; Colby Chester as Leo. Absent: The General Lee (so instead Bo and Luke drive around in a blue four-door sedan, Cooter's 1975 Plymouth Fury) The General Lee wasn't used in this episode because in the end of the episode, the car they were using (Cooter's Plymouth Fury) was destroyed.
4	4	"Repo Men"	Ron Satlof	Bob Clark	February 16, 1979 (1979-02-16)	166863
Boss Hogg plans to buy his wife Lulu, who is Rosco's sister, a Rolls-Royce from a car lot run by Ace Parker (Jerry Rushing), a crooked car dealer who has already sold the car to a counterfeiting ring, and now Ace and Boss want Bo and Luke to repossess the car so Lulu can have it. It is not going to be easy to repossess the car, especially when Bo and Luke discover that Boss and Ace have been selling stolen cars, and they have set a trap to make it look like Bo and Luke were the thieves who stole the cars. Also, the counterfeiters have stashed counterfeit $20 bill engraving plates in the car, and that is why they are not exactly anxious to give the car up. Guest starring: Larry Bishop as Joey Sagalo; Judith Baldwin as Joey's Moll; Peggy Rea in her first appearance as Lulu Coltrane-Hogg; Rod Amateau as Manny; Claude Humphrey as Big John; Jerry Rushing as Ace Parker. Note: The Richard Petty wreck, featured in the episode as the Duke boy's motivation to do repo work for Ace, was General Lee #1, so Lees #2 and 3 were used in this episode as well.

Jesse fires up the old moonshining still for a good cause—the Federal Energy Commission is seeking a substitute for fossil fuels in a clean fuel contest in which the grand prize is $20,000. The Dukes decide to enter Jesse's famous moonshine recipe in the contest because it once worked as fuel in Black Tillie, Jesse's old moonshining car.

Meanwhile, federal agent Roxanne Huntley (Charlene Watkins) is in town to investigate possible moonshine running. Guest starring: Carlene Watkins as Agent Roxanne Huntley; Champ Laidler as Brodie; Ralph Pace as Ed Monroe; Bob Hannah as The inventor.

What the Dukes do not know is that Molly is no longer dealing moonshine—her truck is full of contraband firearms that could land Bo and Luke in jail for violating their probation.

7	7	"Luke's Love Story"	Hy Averback	Kris Kincade, Nance McCornick	March 16, 1979 (1979-03-16)	7

Things get dangerous when it is discovered that Amy's ex-boyfriend, her former mechanic Turk Foley (David Hayward), is bent on either getting her back—or killing her. Amy had fired Turk and replaced him with Francis Lee "Frankie" Olmstead (Marya Small) because Turk had put nitrous oxide in Amy's engine. Nitrous oxide boosts a car's horsepower, but using nitrous oxide can get a driver disqualified. The Racing Association barred Turk as a driver for life, knowing that Turk had severely injured a total of four drivers in his career in his efforts to win. Boss Hogg needs to win the race because Mama Hogg's ashes are in the winning trophy, but honest deputy Enos Strate is driving for Boss, so Boss has Rosco threaten to sell Cooter's truck unless Cooter becomes a crasher in the race in order to make sure Enos wins. Turk sabotages Amy's race car, and then sneaks into the race himself, using Cooter's car.

The Secret Service men and the two state police motorcycle cops that are transporting the limo stop at the Boar's Nest for a fill-up and some coffee, just as Cooter and the Duke boys are leaving. Bo and Luke spot the car, admire it for a bit, then leave. Cooter stays behind to ogle over the car some more, becoming so entranced by the limo that he hot-wires it and takes it for a joyride. Meanwhile, Boss Hogg has a chop shop operation going, and Rosco, who is usually in on Boss Hogg's scams, knows nothing about it. When the limo turns up missing, Rosco assumes that the same car thieves who had been working the county for the past month are the ones who stole it. Boss figures that he has got a sure disaster on his hands if it turns out that his men at the chop shop took the car and have cut it to pieces, until Rosco wonders how much of a reward Boss will get for bringing that "important car" back.

Bo and Luke agree, and leave for Springville, but not before being spotted in deputy uniforms by Daisy and Cooter. Along the way, Bo and Luke must deal with Herky (Bob Hoy) and Manny (Pat Renella), two of Marlowe's henchmen who are attempting to free Marlowe.

Holmes (Robert Alda), who has sent two private investigators named Les Sloane (Lance LeGault) and Mitch Henderson (Robert Tessier) to Hazzard to stop Suzy from marrying her fiancée Fred Andrews (Edward Edwards), just because Fred is a farmer. C. J. wants Suzy to marry someone within her social class, not someone involved in what C. J. sees as an unglamorous profession. C. J. will stop at nothing—even kidnapping Jesse. Jesse gives C. J. a stern lecture about the dedication and self-sacrifice of farmers. When C. J. finally comes to his senses, after Daisy's yellow 1971 Plymouth Road Runner plunges off of a cliff because of a jammed throttle, and explodes, C. J. is no longer against the marriage taking place. As an apology to Daisy for the destruction of her car, C. J. gives Daisy a new white 1980 Jeep CJ-7 called Dixie. Guest starring: Robert Alda. Note: This was the last episode that Daisy's yellow Plymouth Road Runner was used as it met its demise when it went over Kissing Cliff due to a jammed throttle. It was replaced by the Jeep "Dixie".

After that, the carnival's owner, Diane Benson (Robin Mattson), offers Bo a chance to use the General Lee to perform the 32-car jump. Bo falls for Diane, and agrees to do the jump. A feud erupts between Bo and Luke when Luke, fearing for Bo's safety, allows the General Lee to be impounded so Bo cannot do the stunt. What Luke does not know is that Boss Hogg plans to have the General Lee flattened and recycled so the Dukes cannot outrun Rosco anymore. And Boss Hogg also plans to take over the carnival by making sure Diane cannot pay the fee for using the Hazzard fairgrounds. After Luke and Bo learn that Boss plans to destroy the General Lee, the Dukes rescue the General Lee, but the situation leads to a fist fight between Bo and Luke. After the fight, Bo leaves the Duke farm, and prepares for the jump, but Luke, Daisy, and Jesse are determined to stop him. Then they receive some shocking news about the carnival from John Zimbra (Vernon Weddle), an investigator from an insurance company. John tells Luke, Daisy, Jesse, and Cooter that the three accidents that have happened in the past three attempts to do the 32-car jump were not accidents. Someone has been trying to kill any driver who tries to do the jump, and Bo might be next unless Luke, Jesse, Daisy, and Cooter can stop whoever is sabotaging the drivers. It turns out to be Carl (Don Stroud), the carnival's former star performer, who used to regularly do the 32-car jump before injuring his knee, which forced him to stop driving in the carnival. Carl has been trying to sabotage anyone who tries the jump because he cannot stand watching himself being replaced by other drivers.

Boss Hogg hires a pair of thieves named Vic (Michael Greene) and Corey (Alex Kubik) to steal tractors and other heavy equipment from various farmers that Boss had given out loans to. Boss loaned them the money to buy the equipment seven years ago, when interest rates were low. Now that interest rates are higher, Boss feels like he is losing about 15% a year. Boss is having the equipment stolen from the farmers and brought to him—he sees it as a way to recoup his losses. Boss plans to make even more money by selling the equipment to a buyer that he made a deal with. While Daisy moonlights as a contributing reporter at the Hazzard Gazette, Boss frames Bo and Luke for the thefts by having Vic and Corey set it up to where Daisy's snapshot of the thieves shows Bo and Luke instead of Vic and Corey. Boss does not plan to put Bo and Luke in jail right away, however—he wants them to be free just long enough for Vic and Corey to finish the thefts. Daisy's boss, Hazzard Gazette editor Clyde Amos (Richard Paul), wants the story, no matter who is in the picture. Daisy and Jesse beg him to not get Bo and Luke put in jail for something they did not do. Clyde tells the Dukes that the best he can do is give the Dukes the eight hours until press time to find Vic and Corey so that Bo and Luke can clear their names.

Rosco inherits $10,000,000 from his great-uncle Hosiah Coltrane, and before he even gets the money, he starts spending it like crazy: he buys a Rolls-Royce patrol car, buys gaudy rhinestone suits, and speaks his mind freely to Boss Hogg. Rosco, frustrated by years of being outfoxed by Bo and Luke, offers Jason Steele (William Smith), the meanest bounty hunter in Georgia, $100,000 to track down Bo and Luke, and make sure that they are put in prison. Steel and his partner Dawson (Alan Autry) arrive in Hazzard, and start pursuing Bo and Luke. As Bo and Luke repeatedly slip out of Steele's grasp, Rosco swindles Boss Hogg out of everything he owns when Boss Hogg's crooked poker game backfires. Jesse learns that Steele has been in trouble with the law before, and while Jesse is trying to track Steele down, Jesse takes a fall down a hill, and hits his head. Rosco lets Boss Hogg earn some money by hiring Boss as a deputy. At the same time, Jesse is at a hospital, in a coma, because of Steele and Dawson, and a furious Bo and Luke are trying their best to outwit Steele, who proves to be a tough enemy. Rosco, feeling guilty about what happened to Jesse, starts having second thoughts about his plan to have Steele nail Bo and Luke. Steele, wanting to protect his reputation, insists on continuing with the plan. Steele cons Bo and Luke into driving a stolen Dodge Charger painted exactly like the General Lee, and has them arrested. It turns out that Rosco's inheritance is not what he thought it was—Hosiah Coltrane's attorney tells Rosco that a computer error put the decimal in the wrong place, and that his inheritance is only $10. Boss Hogg gets back everything he lost from Rosco, and regains the position of County Commissioner. Rosco is in trouble with Steele, who wants the $100,000 that he feels Rosco owes him, while Steele is trying to take Bo and Luke to Atlanta to face the car-theft charge that he framed them on. When Rosco tells Steele that he will not be able to pay him, Steele blows his top. Steele releases Bo and Luke without the use of a car, and kidnaps Rosco, hoping to get Boss Hogg to pay him $100,000 for Rosco, but Boss Hogg, not realizing what is going on, refuses to hand over the money, because of how Rosco had treated him.

When the Dukes lose a race to another car, a discouraged Luke makes an offhanded remark about the General Lee possibly wearing out its usefulness, and Boss Hogg hears about what Luke said. After Luke is injured during the qualifying jump for the derby, Boss Hogg hires Professor Crandall (Walker Edmiston) to hypnotize Luke into believing that the General Lee is no longer roadworthy the next time it breaks down, so that he will get rid of the General Lee, no matter who tries to stop him. Boss Hogg thinks that getting rid of the General Lee will ensure victory at the derby. To speed up the process, Boss Hogg orders Rosco to sabotage the General Lee by sneaking on the Duke farm to damage its fuel line, causing another "breakdown" so that Luke will get rid of it. After the General malfunctions, Luke, now under hypnosis, decides to take the General Lee to a local used car dealership to trade it, much to the dismay of the Duke family.

While on a call, Cooter notices the unmanned runaway General Lee coasting toward a cliff to meet its would-be doom, but he saves the General Lee by stopping it with his tow truck. Luke even tries to blow up the General Lee with dynamite. While arguing with Bo, Jesse, and Daisy, Luke hears Jesse snap his fingers (the sound implemented by Professor Crandall to break Luke's hypnosis), and Luke shows a complete change in his opinions of the General Lee.

Bo and Luke return to Hazzard County after a great season on the NASCAR Circuit, where they won the Mobile Cup in Mobile, Alabama.

Coy and Vance have decided to leave Hazzard to take care of their Uncle Elbert and Aunt Bessie's farm while Elbert is in the hospital. As Bo and Luke soon discover, things are still pretty much the same in Hazzard. For the past couple of months, Cooter has been moonlighting at the Chickasaw Garage and getting hardly any sleep—and for a good reason. Boss Hogg has deliberately raised Cooter's mortgage to a balloon payment of $5,000 so Boss can have a reason to foreclose on Cooter's garage, because Boss wants to build a new shopping center in its place. Also, NASCAR driver Petey Willis (Donald May) has come out of retirement to prepare for the Atlanta 500. But Petey's car crashes during a practice run after Cooter worked on it and installed high-performance gas hoses in the engine. Petey's daughter Sarah Ann (Lori-Nan Engler) gets upset and blames Cooter, so a devastated Cooter decides to sell the Hazzard Garage to Boss Hogg, and move to the mountains to become a recluse. Boss tells Rosco to take the Hazzard Garage's deed to Atlanta and record it. Bo and Luke figure out the cause of the crash: the pressure going through the fuel line burst a hole in the line, spraying gas all over the manifold. The Dukes are surprised that the manifold did not burn up. In an attempt to kill Petey, someone removed a high-performance fuel hose that Cooter installed, and installed a low-performance, store-bought fuel line in its place, knowing that it would blow, and cause Petey to wreck. Sarah Ann tells Bo and Luke that Petey's backup driver, Joey Bryan (Chuck Wagner), is not exactly happy about the idea of Petey driving in the Atlanta 500, because Joey himself wants to drive in the Atlanta 500. It was Joey who installed the low-performance fuel line in Petey's car. It turns out that Joey wanted Petey out of the way, because Joey had bet on someone else to win the Atlanta 500, and he stands a good chance of losing the bet unless Petey is out of the race. While Bo and Luke go after Joey, Jesse tells Cooter what is going on, and Daisy comes up with a plan to stop Rosco from recording the deed to the Hazzard Garage. Guest starring: Donald May as Petey Willis; Lori-Nan Engler as Sarah Ann Willis; Chuck Wagner as Joey Bryan; Ken Hixon as Doctor (uncredited). Note: This is the only episode to feature all four Duke boys—Bo, Luke, Coy, and Vance appear in the opening credits.

The baby's mother turns out to be Mary Lou Tompkins (Janeen Best), whose parents are the Dukes' old friends Bill and Bonnie Tompkins. Mary Lou is in a custody battle against baby Jamie's wealthy, snobby grandfather Emerson P. Craig (Peter Hobbs), who is from Savannah. Emerson wants to keep Jamie away from Mary Lou, just because Mary Lou is a farmer's daughter, and Mary Lou put Jamie in the General Lee in order to keep Jamie away from Emerson. A couple of years ago, Emerson's son Roger married Mary Lou, without Emerson's approval and against Emerson's orders. Not long after Jamie was born, Roger passed away. Emerson did not approve of Mary Lou, because in Emerson's opinion, Mary Lou, who used to work in one of Emerson's cotton mills, is a "nobody" because she was raised on a "grubby" farm. Emerson went to court, and he and his high-priced attorney had Mary Lou declared an unfit mother, and Emerson won custody of Jamie. It is too risky for the Dukes to keep Jamie at the Duke farm, because Emerson has a pair of gun-carrying private investigators looking for Jamie. Daisy volunteers to go into hiding with Jamie at the abandoned Hazzard Sawmill building. Emerson's snobby attitude even angers Boss Hogg and Rosco, so Boss Hogg, Rosco, and Enos try to help the Dukes keep Jamie away from Emerson, and Boss Hogg and Jesse try to locate Judge Charles Druten (Ted Gehring), hoping that he can help. But because of a cut in the county budget, Rosco and Enos have to ride around on horses instead of in cars. Jesse and Boss Hogg locate Judge Druten, and send Bo and Luke to pick him up. When Emerson and his private investigators close in on the Hazzard Sawmill building, and one of the investigators accidentally sets fire to the surrounding woods by throwing down a lit cigar, Bo and Luke, arriving with Judge Druten, have to go into the fire to find Daisy and Jamie.

When Bo and Luke turn around to check on Rosco and are unable to find him, they fear the worst, and assume that he has drowned. The residents of Hazzard all think Rosco is dead. Later, at Rosco's supposed wake, everyone is overjoyed when they see "Rosco" stumbling down the street, but what they do not know is that it is actually Woody. Woody claims to be Rosco, but he makes enough mistakes to make everyone wonder what is wrong with the person that they think is Rosco. Rosco's dog Flash is not fooled, however, and she will not go anywhere near the phony Rosco. When Bo and Luke take Woody to the hospital, still thinking that he is Rosco, they are grabbed by Woody's accomplices Kelly (Clancy Brown) and Arnie (Jeffrey Josephson). What no one knows is that Woody, Kelly, and Arnie plan to rob an armored truck that is carrying $1,000,000 to the Hazzard Bank, and frame Rosco for the robbery.

131	1	"Happy Birthday, General Lee"	Tom Wopat	Si Rose	September 21, 1984 (1984-09-21)	129
The Dukes are celebrating the anniversary of the day that they got the General Lee eight years ago in 1976, and we see the story of how they got the General Lee. Eight years ago, Luke was just out of the Marines, and Bo was just out of high school. Two jewel thieves named Ginny (Janie Fricke) and Rick (Sam Melville) hid $50,000 worth of gold dust under the dashboard of the car, a Dodge Charger that was painted black at the time. The car was wrecked and taken to a junkyard. Bo and Luke were searching for a race car so they could compete in a local race, which had a prize of $10,000 going to the winner. Their search lead them to the black Dodge Charger. The Dukes bought the car, and took it to Cooter's garage to soup it up and paint it its current color, orange—the only color Cooter had at his garage at the time. It was Jesse's idea to name it the General Lee. The number 01, as Bo explained, means "From here on out, it's number one all the way." Ginny and Rick went after the Dukes to get the gold dust, but the Dukes managed to stop them, win the race, and keep the General Lee. Guest starring: Sam Melville as Rick; Janie Fricke as Ginny; Wayne Morton as a customer; Troy Melton as Sheriff Snead; Will Hare as the yard manager. Notes: Some of the clothing was original such as Luke's plain blue shirt, Rosco's sheriff's jacket, and Uncle Jesse's black hat.

An old friend of the Duke family, Waylon brings his tour bus and traveling museum to Hazzard County. Years ago, before his first professional gig, someone stole Waylon Jennings's guitar. With no money to replace it, he would have missed his opportunity, but then a stranger loaned him the money to replace it. That stranger was Jesse Duke. They have been friends ever since. Waylon enters Hazzard, traveling in a very valuable mobile country music history museum to use as a charity exhibit. This museum, considering its value, is a very desirable item, for a thief.

Bo, Luke, and Daisy are on their way to an old-fashioned hay ride. Meanwhile, a truck carrying an experimental genetic drug accidentally drops a vial of it into the Hazzard pond. Shortly after, the Dukes must stop at the pond to get water for the General Lee's radiator, since it has overheated. While filling a jug of water from the lake, Luke also takes a small drink. He does not realize that he is drinking water that has been contaminated by the genetic drug. Luke begins to experience a severe personality change. He becomes obnoxious, and he begins to turn on Bo. When they get to the hay ride, Luke insults Enos and says that he now sees that Hazzard is just a joke of a town. When all the Dukes are back at the farm, Luke continues to insult his family. He forgoes the ceremony of saying grace and he insults Uncle Jesse’s cooking. For Bo, this is the last straw, and he wants to have it out with Luke. Jesse asks Bo to hold back. Luke takes off in the General. Out of respect for Jesse's wishes, Bo agrees to go look for the dramatically changed Luke. Luke, who is now under the full influence of the drug, goes on a rampage, even running Bo off the road. Luke is observed by Hurley (Alan Autry) and Ben (Greg Finley), two men who are planning to rob the Hazzard Bank, and they are looking for a good getaway driver. Luke, in his current frame of mind, agrees to help them, for a cut of the money. Soon, Boss Hogg becomes aware of Hurley and Ben's plans to rob his bank, and begins to devise his own plan to catch Hurley, Ben, and especially Luke in the act. Meanwhile, the remaining Dukes have discovered the empty genetic drug vial at the lake, and have gone to the research company in Atlanta to find out more information, in hopes of saving Luke from its effects. Dr. Debbie Davis (Lori Hallier) tells them that the drug will not wear off until 11:00 AM the following morning. The Dukes hurry back to Hazzard to try to prevent Luke from getting himself into trouble. However, they arrive too late. Luke has already done the robbery with Hurley and Ben, and he has been videotaped by Boss' surveillance cameras. It is up to Uncle Jesse and Daisy to catch up to Rosco and get the tape from him before he delivers it to the authorities. Rosco is unwilling to listen to their story, but Rosco's dog Flash chews the tape up. Bo and Enos find Hurley and Ben. Bo has it out with Luke.

Hogg in 1872, a time when Hazzard was a cattle town called Sleepy City. Now, Boss evicts the Dukes from the farm, but before they go, they look in Jeremiah's old diary to find out what really happened back then, because the diary might give them a clue as to how to keep the farm out of Boss Hogg's hands.

A train will be coming through Hazzard County, and it includes a box car that contains more than $3,000,000 worth of valuables. Boss Hogg has hired three men named Burke (Wayne Grace), Carney (Steve James), and Perry (Ted Markland), and Boss masterminds a plan to knock the boxcar off the train so Burke, Carney, and Perry can steal the valuables for him. Burke, Carney, and Perry are to set up a car to be remote controlled so they can use it to knock the box car off the train. When the car that they plan to use gets wrecked, Burke, Carney, and Perry steal the General Lee to use instead. Using the General Lee would automatically implicate Bo and Luke, and when Bo and Luke start searching for the General Lee, they are grabbed by Burke, Carney, and Perry, who tie them up, gag them, and plan to kill them, which is something that Boss would never approve of, since he does not condone violence. It is up to Jesse and Daisy to find Bo and Luke, and help them. Boss Hogg is appalled that the men are planning to kill Bo and Luke, so he, Rosco, and Enos help as well.

Boss is annoyed that he must participate in the act, because it conflicts with a scheduled appointment to close a big-time deal. Knowing that Lulu would walk out on him if he refuses, Boss decides to participate. Boss schemes to use the "disappearance" as an opportunity to drive into town for his appointment. However, the "disappearance" works out too well. Paroled convict Floyd Malone (Kevin Peter Hall) and his equally muscular brother Bubba (Ji-Tu Cumbuka) are out to make Boss pay for testifying against Floyd in a hijacking case three years ago. They make their move, and kidnap Boss outside the Boar's Nest—unknown to Rosco, the Dukes or the others inside. After convincing Lulu that Boss's disappearance might have been foul play, Bo and Luke search for the Malones, who have demanded $1,000,000—or Boss will be killed. The Dukes have a difficult time convincing grief-stricken Rosco that his magic was not responsible for Boss's disappearance. Bo and Luke hatch a plan to rescue Boss from the Malones. Once Boss is rescued and the Malones are arrested, Bo and Luke convince Boss to reprise the second half of Rosco's magic trick. Boss still does not want to do so, until he sees an emotional Rosco recalling all the good times they had together, and how Boss was the only one to stand by him.
