Boss' Big Daddy comes to Hazzard.

And so does big trouble.

Big Daddy.

Don't forget behind your ears.

Free money.

Hey, that's my wrist.

Cut 'em off.

- Hop. - Hop?

I'll navigate them.

- Help. - Help.

Get away, goat.

I think you've snapped.

Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

In Hazzard County, most folks do all the grocery shopping

once a week at Rhuebottom's General Store.

And being short of salt, coffee and flour

that's what the Duke boys are heading out to do right now.

Vance, you know Cletus and Enos

are waiting around the bend, don't you?

Yup. And you know something, Coy?

Them boys deserve better from us.

What say this time instead of going around them, we go..

Over them?

Ha ha, I think they'd appreciate it.

Give them somebody to look up to.

- Should not. - Should too.

Should not, needn't have done it, Cletus. Now, this is wrong.

Sitting in this speed trap, waiting for somebody to fall in.

That's entrapment.

Not if you got a good reason to be here, which we have.

What is it?

This is a good place to keep your fingers flexed

so they'll be in good shape for writing speed tickets.

- Sure. - Here comes somebody.

Yee-haw!

- Happy landing. - Whew!

The Duke boys.

He acted surprised... didn't he?

Sorry, fellas. But I'm gonna have to ask y'all to pull over.

For what, Enos? We weren't doing more than 50 miles an hour.

Yeah, but what we wanna see is your flying license.

Ha ha. You tell 'em, Enos.

What for? I just told them.

Coming up on Hazzard Pond.

Hope y'all didn't forget to bring your bathing suits.

Watch out, Cletus.

You are losing your touch. We didn't go in the pond this time.

That's right, we didn't.

We didn't catch 'em either, Cletus.

Over at Boss' house, it was business as usual.

I'll give you $2200 and I get to keep this watch as a sample.

Now, Boss, you said you'd negotiate with me in good faith.

- Well, so did you. - Yeah.

Yeah. And on the other hand, listen.

Take a look at this thing.

This here is an APB teletype that's come in yesterday

'on the license plate of your pickup.'

It seems that you were seen leavin' the scene of the crime.

- Yeah, see, and that's a no-no. - Yeah. It sure is a no-no.

On account of it doesn't leave you much

to negotiate with, does it?

How about $3500?

$2200 and that's my final offer.

But I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll also throw in a clean

brand-new license plate for your pickup

so you can skedaddle out of here scot-free.

Alright, Boss, you win. When do I get the clean plate?

Well, first, you go get that hot plate off your pickup, see?

And you give it to the sheriff.

'Then you get yourself out to my warehouse'

'with all that merchandise, and the sheriff'

will get out with a clean plate to you personal.

- You like that? - Yeah.

- Alright, then. Pickup here? - Oh, you bet.

Well, go on. Get your hot plate. Yeah. Get it ready.

There you go.

Uh-uh-uh!

- Use the back door, please. - Yeah, use the back door.

Listen, Boss. Listen.

Where in the heck am I gonna get a new license plate?

You know, down at the Motor Vehicle Department

that takes at least 30 days there.

Yeah, but this won't take you 30 minutes.

Now, I had this idea in my head ever since that APB come in.

The plates you're gonna get is already on another car.

Already on another car. Which car?

- I'll give you a clue. - Little one.

It's an orange car with a Confederate flag

on the top and an 01 on the door.

Boy, that's tough.

- The General Lee, I got it. - Oh, how did you ever guess?

The 01 on the door gave you away.

I don't care what gave me away.

Now, listen here. What I want you to do is..

You go out to Jenkins and get that hot plate

and then you scoot out with it to the Duke farm

and switch it on the General, yeah?

And then we can have the Duke boys arrested for robbery too.

- Yeah, that's right. - Oh, I love it. I love it.

Where's Uncle Jesse?

He took off for Capitol City to see Ned Baker.

Sneaking up on the Dukes ain't easy.

But Rosco's been doing it for so long

that he's kinda got the hang of it.

I'll bet he learned that when he was a rent-a-cop

at that all-night pizza parlor on Frontage Road.

Looks like one of us left our little surprise

for Uncle Jesse in theGeneral.

Well, it couldn't have been me.

Alright, I'll get it this time, Vance.

A token of thanks from Mr. Rhuebottom

for Vance and me helping unload the produce truck.

Six pounds of turnip greens.

Get away, goat..

Now, that's a mighty fancy car heading for Hazzard.

And them wheels ain't ever been over ground like this.

Who do you reckon's inside?

Now, now, Ernie. Slow down.

We don't wanna get no speeding ticket.

- Do we? - No, sir.

Sure don't look like Hazzard folks.

I've seen that face somewhere before.

Must have been on an ad for stuffed shirts.

Listen, he's gonna deliver those golden doodads..

When Boss found out that that wanted license plate

was now on the General Lee

he was as happy as a rat trapped in a corn crib.

Because he'd have to eat his way out.

I want you get on the horn and get to Cletus and Enos

and tell 'em to bring in the Duke boys

on a charge of armed robbery.

Armed robbery? I love it, I love it.

Cletus. Enos.

Rosco relayed Boss' orders to Enos and Cletus

who took off to arrest the Duke boys

which is what they was supposed to do in the first place.

Cletus and Enos are on their way out to the Duke farm.

And you're on your way to unemployment office

if you don't get this mongrel off my feet!

'Oh, Flash, come on, now. Go play someplace.'

Go play, darlin'.

- What's this? - It's a telegram.

Yeah, it's a telegram addressed to me, you dodo.

What are you doing with it?

Mrs. Tisdale gave it to me yesterday.

I just forgot to give it to you, what with me being so busy.

Rosco, this telegram is from my Big Daddy.

- Your daddy? - Yeah.

He says he's passing through Hazzard to visit me

on his way around the world.

- He'll be here today. - Today?

- At 12 noon. - Oh.

Now, can y'all imagine Boss Hogg having a daddy?

Stretches you some, don't it?

Yep, that's Big Daddy Hogg.

Boss' papa.

Guess Boss takes after his mama.

I mean, even when I was itty-bitty

you know that my mother and me

well, we didn't hardly ever see him never.

He was always so busy making other people's lives secure.

Oh, well, you know, he must have been

one heck of a good salesman.

Oh, he was the best. Yeah.

And then I heard tell, he went into lots of other deals.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah. Stock, oil, land.

Everything he touched turned to gold.

- True Hogg. - Well, yeah.

And he always said that all of that would be mine someday.

- Be yours. - If..

- If? - If..

Here it comes.

If I turned out to be just like him.

Honest and lovable.

- Well, it just hit the fan. - Mm, it sure did.

'Rosco, if my Big Daddy should ever find out'

that I ain't honest and lovable just like him

he's gonna cut me right out of his will.

You mean, your own daddy would do something like that?

- He sure would. - Oh.

Rosco, I just gotta find a way to make my daddy think

that I'm honest and lovable like him.

Are you kidding?

How are you gonna make him think anything as impossible as that?

Boss, let's face it, when you walk down the street

people hiss and boo you.

They don't do it to your face, they do it to your back.

Well, that's it, that's it, that's it, Rosco.

I mean, we just got enough time before he gets here.

What I want you to do..

Rosco's orders was to threaten everybody in town

to show their love and devotion to their benefactor, Boss Hogg

when his Big Daddy arrived.

Or else ol' Boss was gonna foreclose on the whole county.

Then you get a big banner put up in the center of town.

"Everybody loves Boss Hogg!"

Yeah, that's it. Now, go! Get! Get! Get!

Alright, what did you boys do now?

- We didn't do anything. - We never do anything.

Alright, Coy and Vance.

Just get your hands up, dadgummit.

I hate saying this, fellas, but y'all are under arrest

on suspicion of armed robbery.

Armed robbery?

That's right, we just had an APB over the CB

for that license plate right there.

'Hey, how'd that get on there?'

Wait a minute, this isn't the General Lee's license plate.

Somebody put that there and you fellas know it, don't you?

Oh, forget it, Daisy. It's like shoutin' down a dry hole.

Coy and me are set up tighter than the skin on a sausage.

Mighty sorry, fellas, but we got our orders

and y'all are under arrest.

Vance, stand up. Y'all hold your hands out

'your wrists out like that, okay?'

Not like that. Like that.

Once we bring you in we'll get this mess straightened out.

Well, you get Coy, I'll get Vance.

Hey, ow!

- My turn to drive. - My turn to drive.

- No, it's my turn to drive. - No way.

- It's my turn to drive. - Cletus, that ain't fair.

Cletus!

Get in here. Hurry up.

Who would wanna frame us

for that hot license plate besides Boss?

- Nobody. - Well, that narrows it down.

Meanwhile, Boss Hogg's daddy was getting closer and closer.

Oh, I remember this road real well, Ernie.

I used to drive it to church every Sunday with my boys.

- Really? - Hm.

'I sang in the choir. Did you know that?'

No, Big Daddy. I didn't.

At the same time, old Rosco and Boss

were roundin' up what folks they could

for the rehearsal of that spontaneous acclaim

they had for Boss.

'If you two will step down here and grovel a little bit.'

'Thank you, Mr. Hogg, for my free daily loaf of bread.'

- Oh, don't mention it. - Now, that was very good.

But I'm glad you did mention it.

Alright, now you can do your stuff.

Bless you, Mr. Hogg, for paying all my medical bills.

Oh, that was nice. Now, if you'll just kiss his hand.

That'll add a little touch.

You kiss it, Rosco! I just blessed him! Ain't that enough?

- Well, I just... - Don't you dare!

'This is Hazzard Two, come in.'

'You got your ears on? This is Deputy Strate talking.'

Enos, this is your top-dog superior speaking.

What's on your feeble little mind? Come back.

Sheriff, we got the Duke boys by the tail.

'but we're having trouble hanging on.'

'If we're gonna bring them in, we need some help, sir.'

The Dukes? No! Don't let 'em bring 'em in.

The last people we want

talking to Big Daddy when he's in town

are them Dukes. Don't you know that?

I mean, they're not grovelers. Who knows what they'd blab?

You mean, you don't want Coy and Vance Duke in jail?

- Of course, I do. - Of course, you do.

More than I ever wanted their snoopy cousins, Bo and Luke.

- But listen, later. You know? - Later.

After Big Daddy leaves town.

So, you just get on this thing and tell Cletus and Enos

to cease and desist on them Duke boys.

I got that.

Cletus, Enos, this is your superior officer

Rosco P. Coltrane, speaking again.

That's a big cease and desist on the pursuit of the Duke boys.

'Did you get that? That's a cease and desist.'

'Yes, I'm gone.'

I'm hearing it, but I don't believe it.

I wonder what that's all about.

That makes two of us, cuz.

- Coy, look out! - Too late now. Hang on.

I don't know what Coy's got planned

but it sure don't look good.

'Nice driving, partner.'

I wonder why Rosco called off Cletus and Enos.

Boss told him to, I reckon.

But Boss had us framed real good with those license plates.

Why let us go?

Maybe, they're beginning to cotton on to

my charmin' personality.

Yeah. Maybe, he was just takin' pity on the feeble minded.

Whatever. Let's get back to the farm.

- Nobody's gonna stop us now. - Yeah.

Watch it, will you?

Ain't I nervous enough? I'm shakin' like a leaf.

Don't be nervous. Be like me, you know?

Listen, I'll take care of you.

I'll hold you up, little fat buddy.

I just wish I had more than two hands, you know?

Here he comes.

'Oh, yeah. That's gotta be him.'

- Ain't nobody else but... - Who?

Big Daddy.

Jefferson, my son.

Big Daddy. My daddy.

Turn 'em over.

When was the last time you had a manicure?

'And next time, wash them with soap. Behind your ears, too.'

Oh, yes, sir.

Oh, my. Oh, my. Oh, my.

You haven't changed one little bit, have you, Big Daddy, sir?

My, my, my. You sure have.

Looks like you have a mite of trouble pushin' away

from the dining-room table.

Oh, yeah. Well, I do have an itty-bitty

bit of trouble doing that, Big Daddy, sir.

See, there's a lot of him. But we love him.

You know, son, I see the name J.D. Hogg

on a lot of businesses around here.

- You must be doin' alright. - Oh, so I am, Big Daddy.

Yeah, he's loaded.

'As you can plainly see'

I am an outstanding citizen around here

just like you was in your day.

You might call him the pillow of the community.

Yeah, I am the pillar of this community.

He's that too.

Somebody whom you can be proud of.

Yes, Jefferson. I am proud. I am very proud.

Rosco, you hear that? My Big Daddy is proud of me.

He's very proud of me.

Son, why don't you show me some more of your financial dealings?

- Oh, yeah. - I am very, very proud of you.

Alright, right over there, you see..

Why don't you just take it off?

I figure a plate nobody can read is better than no plate at all.

Any dentist will tell you that.

Hey.

Morning.

What can I do you for?

I could use a fill-up and a look under the hood.

If it's alright with you, I'd like to leave it a bit.

- I got business to attend to. - You got it.

Matter of fact, I see the man I got business with now.

J.D. Hogg, huh?

Well, good luck.

Breaker One. Breaker One. Might be crazy

but I ain't dumb. Crazy Cooter coming at you.

Cooter told the boys about spotting their license plate

on that fella's pickup and wondered how that happened.

That's something we'd like to know ourselves.

Stall him, partner. We're on our way.

Meanwhile, the last man Boss wanted to see right now

his partner in crime, was coming his way.

Excuse me, Big Daddy.

Well, well, well, Mr. Jenkins. How are you?

'And how's all your family too?'

I'll give you your money later. Get the heck out of here.

Now, look, Boss, we made a deal on them watches.

'I want the rest of my money now like you promised.'

'Don't tell me you went and pawned your watches?'

Oh, my. No need to, my boy.

Why didn't you tell me you needed another tractor

for your farm?

- Boss, you gone bananas? - Absolutely!

Go get yourself all the bananas you want.

Say, here's, oh, uh, $2200.

And you pay me back whenever you want.

Now get.

Alright, here's $500 more, if you get fast.

Okay, Boss. If this is the way you want it.

- Thanks a lot. - Goodbye.

He's generous to a fault.

Oh, Jefferson, that was a lovely gesture.

Imagine, giving all that money to the needy.

- My, my, my. - That surprised me too.

Well, thank you, Big Daddy.

Cast your bread upon the water.

- Well, lookie who's here. - No names.

- How you been? - Never better.

I didn't know you was working this territory.

I ain't. We were just passing through.

I ain't of a suspicious nature, but things are smelling

a little downwind from the pig pen.

- Good to see you. - Yeah, take care, you shear?

You too.

The boys were cooking pedal to metal.

Firewalling all the way to town.

They was gonna nail that old boy with that country Cadillac

before he split with their license plate.

- All set? - Yes, sir, you're all set.

The oil is fine. It's gonna run you $9 on the gas.

Here's 10.

I'm gonna have to run inside to get some change.

Never mind, keep it. I'm in a hurry.

- It will just take me a second. - I gotta go.

' "Hazzard loves J.D. Hogg."'

'Well, there ain't nobody loves J.D. Hogg. Except maybe Lulu.'

What in tarnation is going on?

'Well, would you lookie there.'

There's J.D.'s daddy.

Heh, his daddy's in town.

Uncle Jesse!

What is it, Cooter?

There's a red and yellow pickup..

Cooter told Jesse about seeing the General's license plate

on that fella's pickup.

Old Jesse got on the CB as quick as he could

with ol' Coy and Vance.

'Shepherd to Lost Sheep. Shepherd to Lost Sheep..'

Vance told Jesse about Cletus and Enos arresting them

for robbery and then old Boss mysteriously calling them off.

Well, there ain't no mystery about that.

J.D.'s daddy's in town.

And he don't want no trouble with us Dukes.

Well, bless his daddy for making life easier on us.

Hey, don't celebrate.

The minute his daddy's gone

Boss is gonna be back down on us.

Unless we find that dude with our license plates.

Crazy Cooter, y'all. It's a red and yellow, long-bed pickup.

One dude in it. He was headed north on Highway 142.

Thanks, Cooter. We'll handle all the roads heading north.

And I'll call Daisy.

Vance reached Daisy

and gave her directions on where she was to go.

And since he didn't send her to me, well, the chase was on.

Here's some free money for you.

Now Boss, meanwhile, was givin' out free money

to Hazzard's needy and poor people

just to show Big Daddy that his heart

was nearly as big as the rest of him.

Son, I can't tell you how thrilled and proud I am

to see one of my own flesh and blood

continuing the good Samaritan work

that I always practiced and believed in.

Thank you, Big Daddy, sir.

I mean, I've thanked you so many times already

but thank you again.

Thank you. Thank you.

Free money!

Rosco! How dare you?

Ernie, how much would you guess my son is worth?

- Looks like quite a bundle. - That's my guess too.

It's a shame I'm gonna have to do him out of some of it.

But he's your son.

You wouldn't con your own flesh and blood

with one of our little schemes, would you?

Oh, Ernie. Ernie.

Blood may be thicker than water, but money is thicker than blood.

You remember Savannah, '68?

The old Savannah bait and jive?

Yeah, the old Savannah bait and jive.

That's how we'll do it.

You figure you'll take his bank?

No. No, Ernie.

Not that much from my son.

Ain't you got no heart?

'Alright, free money! There you are! Don't hesitate.'

The Dukes was closing in from all directions

at the same time

up on each other simultaneously.

And that didn't take long at all.

It never does when you know all the shortcuts around Hazzard.

Vance, there he is.

He spotted us.

Daisy, we found him. He's headed in on Chestnut Road.

'See if you can head him back in our 102, sugar.'

You got it, cousin. I'll be right there.

Uncle Jesse, what's your 20?

Oh, I'm over here on Canyon Spring.

I can keep him from turning off here if you want me to.

Alright. That'll just about do it.

Easy, fella.

It so happens your pickup is wearing our license plate.

'We're probably wearing yours.'

You caused us a lot of trouble switching them for Boss Hogg.

So that's it.

Look, all I know is Boss Hogg promised me a clean plate.

- Where he got it, I don't know. - Well, you know now.

Boss had that hot plate put on your car, not me.

'Then you won't mind coming with us and repeating that to him.'

You just let me go and I'll tell you something

that'll get us both even with Boss Hogg.

We're listening.

I once did time with his daddy's driver.

A good con man by the name of Ernie Ashburn.

'If he's driving for Boss Hogg's daddy, he can't be good either.'

- Deal? - Interesting, but no deal.

I got our plate right here, boys.

We'll have it on in a jiff. Hey, cowboy!

Boy howdy. I'd never play cards with him.

Uncle Jesse, look out!

- Is everybody okay? - Yeah.

- Yeah, no harm done. - I'm alright.

Can't say the same about the pickup.

She busted an axle cleaner than Monday's wash.

Well, at least the General's got his regular license plate back.

Now, Boss can't nail us no more on that fake robbery charge.

You think that fellow was telling the truth

about Big Daddy's driver bein' a con man?

I hope not. We got enough problem with Boss.

Problems with Boss?

I got a few choice words for that man

about him trying to frame you boys.

- Me too. - Daisy, drive me to town.

'Somebody get a hold of Cooter about the truck.'

Okay.

The Dukes CB'd ahead for Cooter to come and tow in the pickup

and headed into town.

Well, I must say. I am impressed.

I really am, Jefferson

at how much money you carry around on your person.

Like Big Daddy, like son. I like that.

You mean you do too? Just like I do?

Oh, then it runs in the family, don't it, Big Daddy?

But it must be a bother to always have to walk over

to the bank every day just to stock up on cash.

Are you kidding? He doesn't walk any place he doesn't have to.

You see, he keeps it all in that safe right there.

Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right.

I keep a tidbit of money in my safe.

For itty-bitty expenses.

Did you ever hear such false modesty?

Tidbit? Itty-bitty?

I've seen at least $50,000 in that safe.

Well, Rosco, $50,000 is a tidbit to my Big Daddy.

Fifty thousand dollars?

Well, son, if it's safe enough for your tidbit of $50,000

then it's safe enough for my tidbit of money too.

Here, take this money belt and put it with your money

right there in that safe, till I leave town.

Folks, y'all are now watching

the old Savannah shuffle, bait and jive.

That's some horse collar, ain't it? How much is in there?

Fifty thousand dollars. Just like you, son.

My itty-bitty tidbit.

- Just like my Big Daddy. - Itty-bitty.

You either turn around or stuff your ears.

Don't listen to these here clicks now.

Alright. All of you, hands up! And no funny business!

Listen here. I am the sheriff of Hazzard County...

- 'Do it!' - It's done.

- You too, Big Daddy. - That's my Big Daddy.

Okay, tubby. Put everything in the bag.

And the money belt too, fast.

Alright. Everything in the bag, and the money belt too.

I'll do it, I'll do it. Just don't shoot.

Ernie! You can't do this to me and my flesh and blood.

Now, I've been like a daddy to you too, all these years.

- Well, I ain't your son. - Well, I am.

And you can't do this to me.

Shut up and hand it over, tubby.

Here.

Say, you say you known him a long time?

- He had good references. - I said, shut up!

Now, all of you, get real close and face each other.

Face to face!

Now, y'all do well to take notice right here

that old Cletus has parked his car

closer than a Saturday night shave to Big Daddy's limo.

I think it's gonna matter later.

Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me

it's been real nice doin' business with you.

Ernie, you can't do this to us. Come back. You can't do this.

- It's dishonest! - Don't leave us here!

- Rosco... - Now, what are we gonna do?

- Don't you know? - No.

Alright, look, look. There's an open window.

If we can hop over there, we can yell for help.

But we gotta do it together, you know.

As one man, in unison, all at the same time.

- Together. - Can you manage that?

Alright. One, two, three, hop!

- Hop! Hop! Hop! - Hop! Hop! Hop!

You're looking at a chauffeur who's looking for some wheels.

Bad.

- Hop! Hop! - Hop! Hop!

- Help! - Help!

You! Back in the car. You're in and driving!

- Now, hold it... - Move it or I start shooting.

And you, get back there with them.

- Easy now. Easy there. - Move it.

- Do what the man says. - And nobody try and follow us.

Do, and you'll find your friend all over the road.

Alright. Take off!

Oh, look, look, look.

'Big Daddy, you see that?'

'That's Vance Duke in the getaway car.'

The Duke boys must be in it with your chauffeur.

How did that happen?

I mean, that's a terrible thing to happen.

Remember what the man said. Don't let him see you, Daisy.

Uncle Jesse, don't worry.

If he saw us follow him, no telling what he'd do to Vance.

Let's go, Daisy. Step on it.

- Hop! Hop! - We got it.

Mr. Hogg, sir?

Uh-huh. I saw that coming.

Look, friend, can't we talk?

You wanna hitch a ride someplace, just ask me.

Shut up and drive.

Alright. Yeah. Where? Oh, Enos. Enos.

Cletus. Cletus. Come on.

They're getting away! Vance Duke!

Boss deputized everybody in sight

except Flash, to find the General Lee.

I'm your commanding officer.

Hush a minute. Now, listen.

They're going out 111.

We'll go to the north junction and cut 'em off.

- Cut 'em off. - Alright.

- My turn, Cletus. - I'll navigate, then.

Enos!

Enos. Cletus. I told you to cut them off, not me!

- Yes, I'm sorry, sheriff. - You scuffed my vehicle.

Go back in, sheriff. You're getting wet.

All clear.

You know, it's real nice having my own chauffeur for a change.

You're doing real good.

Now, nobody had to tell Daisy what to do.

She was ahead of the law and behind the General

just hanging back easy. Keeping tabs.

Don't you just love her?

Okay, plowboy. Pull it over right here.

Get out. This is your last stop.

Stealing cars ain't exactly my ordinary line of work.

But in this case, I have to make an exception.

'Sorry, kid.'

Hey, you ain't stealing our car.

Now, I know where he picked that up.

I used to watch Tex Ritter do that every Saturday.

- Vance! - Vance!

- Vance, you alright? - Are you okay?

- Yeah. He got the General. - Let's go get the varmint.

This Jeep can't catch the General.

Well, it's long gone anyway.

'And for what it's worth, we gotta report this to Rosco.'

So let's go back to town. This time, I'll drive.

- Honey, are you okay? - I'm okay. Yeah.

I can't wait to get a hold of those guys.

I can't figure out why Daddy Hogg's chauffeur

would wanna swipe our car.

Looked like he was running away

and the General was the first car he saw.

Hey, you're talking about wanting Rosco.

He's behind us, Uncle Jesse.

'So he is.'

Rosco, Rosco. This is Jesse Duke.

Listen, we was just on our way trying to find you.

'Listen. That chauffeur of Big Daddy's'

he pulled a gun on us and stole the General Lee.

Vance was in it.

Listen, who do you think you're kidding, Jesse?

Not me. Because I saw Vance Duke drive that getaway vehicle

'after the robbery. Now, just pull it over.'

Robbery? What robbery?

Listen. Don't be innocent with me.

I'm talking big bucks here. That's not nickels and dimes.

It's $100,000 that they stole from Big Daddy and Boss Hogg.

Now, pull it over and I mean it.

Now you know why that chauffeur fella was running.

We need time to think.

Uncle Jesse, can you lose Rosco in this thing?

Can I lose him? Never ask an old ridge-runner that question.

Fasten your seatbelts.

Look at that old pro move that Jeep around.

Don't you know he was something in a '40 Ford?

Now, just about this time, Boss's Big Daddy

was getting all set to leave

and meet up with his partner in the scam.

I hate to leave you at a time like this.

I know.

Now, let's keep it down

to six or seven meals a day.

- I'll try. - Be a good boy.

- I will. - Wash behind your ears.

I won't forget.

And please try to remember

how much I love you.

I love you too, Big Daddy.

- Thank you. Thank you. - Goodbye, son.

Thank you for all you've done for me.

Thank you. Thank you, Big Daddy.

Thank you. Bye.

Goodbye. Drive careful, now. Bye.

I'm so lucky. I got a nice daddy like that.

The first thing that Big Daddy did was to head straight out

to where he had arranged to meet up with Ernie

after skinning his little sonny, Boss.

Hold on. I ain't lost my touch yet.

Enos! Cletus!

He's loose.

Enos, you wrecked our car.

That oughta slow them down.

Now, things was fixing to come to a head all at once.

Old Cooter was towing Jesse's pickup back to his garage

and he saw something that made him kind of suspicious

which in Hazzard could be a lot of things.

You see, General Lee alone with no Dukes meant trouble.

Unless they had parked it and gone fishing.

And the season didn't open for another week.

Breaker One. Might be crazy but I ain't dumb.

Crazy Cooter coming at you.

Any of y'all Dukes on the Hazzard Net? Come on.

Cooter told the Dukes where he'd seen the General.

But more important

about Big Daddy meeting up with Ernie.

Thanks, Cooter. We're gone.

So the two of them are in on it together.

Once a Hogg, always a Hogg, I guess.

I tell y'all, I can't help but feel sorry for Boss.

We all do, honey.

Well, I guess somebody's gotta tell J.D.

and it might as well be me and right now.

Boss was swagging his grief by stuffing his belly

when the call from Jesse came in.

Well, well, well. Jesse Duke, is it, huh?

Listen, you tell me, where are them boys of yours

and all that money they helped steal

from me and my Big Daddy?

J.D., my boys didn't steal no money from you.

Nor from your daddy, neither, Boss.

'That's the truth.'

Now, listen, J.D. I hate to be the one to tell you this

but... well..

I gotta tell you that you been took

by your own flesh and blood, namely your own Big Daddy.

What? What? What?

Are you calling my Big Daddy a crook?

Listen, Jesse Duke, you watch what you're saying

or I'm gonna sue you for libel and slander.

One of you talk to him.

We're goin' after his limo right now

so if you meet us here, we'll prove it.

I'm gonna come after you, alright.

But it's to arrest you Dukes

for slandering my Big Daddy and for stealing our money.

You talk to him.

Makes no mind what you think, Boss, as long as you're coming.

'Meet us out at 102 near the river crossroads.'

'And hurry, because we're losing time.'

Although Boss was speeding off to prove his daddy innocent

he was having serious second thoughts.

But friends and neighbors, the sun rises in the east

rainwater is wet and Jesse Duke don't lie.

And here comes the Hazzard fuzz

two beats late, but ever on the job.

There's Boss.

Boss, what are you doing here? Come back.

Them Dukes just accused my Big Daddy of being a crook.

So I want them all arrested for slander.

Ernie, my bones tell me something's gone amiss.

Them sirens tell me the same thing.

Hold on, Big Daddy.

Come on, get going out of here, fast.

Faster, Ernie, faster!

I got it floored, Big Daddy.

Hey, cuz think you can cut them off past Devil's Ridge?

- Don't see why not. - Let's see what you can do.

'Yes, ma'am.'

Birds do it, bees do it, so hang on, y'all.

We're gonna do it too!

Yee-haw!

Yee-haw!

Forget it, Ernie.

'We've gone as far as we can go. Just wait here.'

Freeze, right there. I see you.

I got you, didn't I? Oh, hey, give me that.

'Well, well, well and well.'

'Big Daddy.'

You know, I'll bet you never

was no hotshot insurance salesman, was you?

Son, I... And I'll just bet that you

never did earn an honest dollar

in your whole life, did you?

And then you stooped so low as to swindle me, your own son

out of my hard-earned cash.

Oh, son, I-I don't blame you for hating me.

Hate you? Hate you?

Oh, Big Daddy, I don't hate you.

I love you.

'I love you. You showed me my heritage.'

My roots.

Now I know where I come from.

Hallelujah!

You get that many sneaky Hoggs in a bunch

somebody ought to build a pen around them.

Oh, son. I love you too.

He-here, here, you take this. It's yours.

Oh, I know it is.

- Goodbye, son. - Goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Drive carefully, now. Bye, now.

Boss naturally let Big Daddy off the hook

blood being thicker than water.

Kinfolks and all that roots kind of stuff, you know.

Besides that, old Boss got his money back, right?

Wrong.

Wait a minute. There's 5000 missing here.

- Missing? - Big Daddy, wait!

Wait, wait, wait..

He he he, wouldn't you know.

Big Daddy, this is J.D. Hogg your son, calling you. Listen.

You shortchanged me 5000 bucks.

Do you hear? Do you hear what I'm saying?

Yeah, I know that, son.

But I got expenses that need taking care of too.

Don't forget to write, son.

If that ain't just like my Big Daddy.

Yeah, just sneaky to the core.

You're laughing. I think you've snapped.

Your only daddy stealing from you.

Yeah, and I wouldn't have him any other way.

Now, I don't know about y'all, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

Because Boss stays in Hazzard.

But out there someplace

Big Daddy is running loose.
