'Yee-haw!'

Now, this looks like a typical day in Hazzard County

with a big orange car being chased by a gigglin' sheriff

a dog and a fat man in a white suit.

But today is sort of special.

Where'd that come from?

Shoot, we ain't got time to find out.

Hang on.

Ow!

'Yee-haw!'

Where they headed? Went through it..

'Get away, get away, get away.'

I can't believe you went through there.

Neither can I.

Anyhow, threadin' a needle through a drain pipe

at 55 miles an hour ain't what makes this day special.

'Well, it's about time! Happy Birthday.'

- What's going on? - Happy Birthday?

It's a birthday party.

We thought you was gonna miss it.

Y'all are a couple of months early.

No, it's not for you. Look at it.

Oh, it can't be that time already.

You see, it was eight years ago today

that the General Lee came into being.

'Cause before then, he was just another car.

He's one of the family and he's earned it.

To the General.

- Our best pal. - Ain't never let us down.

That's for sure.

You know, there ain't a soul in Hazzard including Boss Hogg

that ain't been bailed out by the old General.

It's hard to think we were ever without him.

Yeah, but we were, though. It's been, uh..

My gosh, it's been eight years.

I was just out of the Marine Corps and you outta high school.

We was driving that old wreck of a truck.

'Old man Conkey had throwed that truck away for 10 years'

'when you two drug it up here in the yard.'

Dang it! It's Rosco again.

It's his phony speed trap.

- Can he do that? - He did it.

Come on. Get after it.

I'm getting after it. It just ain't doing much good.

- Alright. - There you are.

We caught you Dukes this time.

What a chase you gave us.

Old Boss was a mite skinnier back then.

He looks plumb poorly.

And how about that bird nest under Rosco's nose.

Would you just stop primpin' and preenin'

on that lip fuzz of yours. And write these here Duke boys up.

Write us up? What for? We weren't speedin'.

It won't even do the speed limit.

- They got a point there. - What, uh..

They were going that slow, huh?

Alright. Then just right 'em up a ticket for impedin' traffic.

'Impedin' traffic.'

- That's good. - Would you, please..

That's brilliant. I'm glad you're my partner.

- Just start writin', please. - I'm gonna write.

When he gets through writin' that ticket

you are gonna have to pay 25 bucks.

Cash on the barrel head.

We ain't got no 25 bucks.

Uh, c-could we maybe owe it to you?

Owe me? Owe me?

- You owe me too much already. - Yeah.

I'll tell you what. I'm gonna have to impound that vehicle

until you make good on all them other tickets

including this one.

Rosco, get in there and start drivin'.

Give 'em the ticket and start drivin'.

Rosco, you can't leave us out here in the middle of the road.

I don't intend to.

I'm gonna CB your Uncle Jesse and have him pick you up.

'I love it.'

It's been a day and a half..

You spelled "impending" wrong.

What the..

'There he is again. Annual road racing champ. $10,000.'

And this was gonna be our year.

'Lookie here. Lookie here.'

Well, some things don't change in eight years.

Daisy's still cute as a speckled pup.

Uncle Jesse must have been born feisty.

No way could that truck be speedin'.

You know, it just ain't fair

Boss impoundin' your truck like that.

Fair's got nothing to do with it when it comes to Boss.

Just how much money he can take in.

It's like that road race of his.

It's like stealin' money for Boss in that souped-up car.

Yeah. Let's get outta here.

'And I thought this would be the year y'all broke his streak.'

'Yeah. So did we.'

We got us a souped-up engine and no car.

With the drought, this has been the worst year

we've had on that farm.

I just.. I ain't got the money.

You don't have to apologize, Uncle Jesse.

You always give us more than we deserve.

- That's for sure. - We'll win it some other year.

'Stay right where you are. Don't move.'

But things wasn't that simple

because over in Capitol City, something was happenin'

that'd affect the whole future of the Duke family.

This sure is a terrific car you swiped, honey.

We made a clean getaway.

I told you we'd make a great team, baby.

This is our biggest hit so far.

We got us 50 grand in gold-dust.

Shoot. Bonnie and Clyde didn't start out this good.

Now, let's pull over right up here

and stash it like we planned.

Friends, how are two losers whose heroes

are Bonnie and Clyde, who've just stole something

that they can't spend, gonna affect the Dukes?

Sure is a beauty.

- Looks powerful, don't it? - Yeah.

We put every ounce of know-how we got into that engine.

Yeah, and a couple of ounces we ain't got.

Uh, boys..

If you was to get the money

do you think you could have a car ready to race by Saturday?

Well, that's three days away. I..

Providin' we could find a body and a chassis

that thing would fit into, and providin' we could come up

with that $500 entry fee.

I'm gonna get you that money.

- What are you talking about? - How?

I'm going to J.D. Hogg and I'm gonna ask him for a loan.

You said, you'd never go to Boss for a loan.

You know he's just gonna rip you off.

I-I-I-I know that, I know that.

Now just be quiet.

When you get a little older, you'll learn that sometimes

you just got to take a chance on the people you love and..

Do what you gotta do.

And right now we gotta get ourselves a race car.

- Come on, let's go get it. - Okay.

- Come on. - Alright.

How about that?

They're hiding all that gold behind the instrument panel.

Reckon that's better than under the mattress.

Lots less lumpier too.

There.

Tucked away real snug.

Ain't it been a piece of cake like I promised you, Ginny?

Sure is. And to think of all the time I wasted hauling warm beer

at that broken down bowling alley.

Am I glad you came along, Rick.

You stick with me, sugar.

We got a long money-making career ahead of us.

Now, them larcenous lovebirds sure guessed wrong on that one.

Here comes the sheriff of Capitol City.

We got company.

And meanwhile, over in Hazzard

little old pudgy Boss was workin' on his race car.

His pride and joy back in them days.

The Hogg Hellcat.

Here come them nosy Dukes.

Oh, good grief. Ow!

I certainly am gonna earn my 1%.

- Oh! Good grief. - J.D.

- Hello, Jesse. - Uh, we gotta talk to you.

We got something important to talk to you.

- Alright, go ahead. - Uh..

Well, uh, we wanna ask you..

- Huh? - I can't say it. You say it.

Boss, we need a loan.

- Oh, is that what you want? - Oh.

- A loan? - Yeah.

Never let it be said

that J.D. Hogg's Bank of Hazzard County

ever turned down a fair request of any citizen for a loan.

'So, I'll give you a loan.'

Uh, at an interest rate of 30%.

30 percent?

That's three times your usual rate!

- Oh is it? Well, so it is. - Yeah.

And I'm gonna have to attach your farm as collateral too.

Our farm?

That's a little rich for our blood, ain't it?

A little rich.

Uh, J.D., I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll take the loan for 15% interest.

- 30% or forget it. - Forget it.

'Wait a minute.'

Boss, you have always wanted me to come to work for you

at the Boar's Nest, right?

- Yeah, so? - Yeah.

If you give Uncle Jesse 15% like he said

I'll do it.

Daisy, you don't want to go work for Boss.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Hold your horses, everybody.

Uh, let me get this straight, Daisy.

You're saying, uh, that you'd go to work for me

at the Boar's Nest, permanent, if I give your Uncle Jesse

a loan at 25% interest.

- I said, 15%, Boss. - Make it 20.

'15% or you can forget it.'

Ah-da-da. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

You may be a Duke, but you got the most

beautiful legs in all of Georgia.

- So, it's a deal. - Alright.

Well, there ain't nothing wrong with ol' Boss's eyes.

Now, Daisy was a mite green on the job.

She spilled more beer then she sold.

I think y'all owe me some money.

- Oh, Daisy. - There we go. Yes, Boss?

I need some barbecue sauce, honey.

Okay, Boss. It'll be one second.

- Alright, but hurry up. - Yeah, you bet.

Here you go, honey.

No, no, no. We ordered the beer now.

Oops. Oh, I'm sorry.

Here, I have it right here, though. There you go.

No, honey. Honey, listen.

No. We ordered tap beer, not these here cans, now.

Oh, well..

Well, I happen to have it right here.

Yes, here you go. I'll get it. Oops!

Oh, no.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, my goodness.

No-no-no, don't do that. Don't do that!

Just go get me a towel, will you please?

Alright, go on, will you, please?

I just can't sit here in this..

Meanwhile, over in Capitol City

the sheriff had searched the wrecked getaway car

but he couldn't find the stolen gold.

So he locked up the two crooks till he could get 'em to talk.

And the Duke boys, with the loan money

had borrowed old Cooter's tow truck

and was searching the junkyards for just the right wreck.

Friends, now, that takes a special eye.

Not a decent chassis in any of 'em.

Hope we have better luck in Capitol City.

We gotta have better luck in Capitol City.

If we're gonna make that race, we gotta find something soon.

- Rosco, did you hear that? - What?

This here fella's from Tennessee.

Looks like my fame has spread far and wide.

If you keep munching those

that's not all that's gonna spread.

Huh? Oh, don't be silly.

- I won't get fat. - No?

No, sir, this stuff goes right through me.

- Boss. Excuse me. - Like a big white snow goose.

- Boss, I-I got you towel. - Good. Give me my towel.

I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.

What a horrendous..

- I'll fix you up. - Get off, get off.

Now, y'all watch close.

You see that yellow wrecker, don't you?

Well, it's just delivered the stolen getaway car

which has still got you-know-what in it.

And it's just been sold for junk.

Now, there ain't nobody that don't know

what's about to happen.

- Howdy. - Hey.

You can call it fate.

In Hazzard County, it's called Dukes' luck.

But something led Bo and Luke to that Capitol City junkyard

and right up to that wreck of an old black Charger.

Sounds like a song ol' Willie'd sing. Don't it?

Looks a little rough underneath there, don't it?

How bad is it?

Well... if we get after it with some tools

we could fix it up, I guess.

Front end's pretty banged up.

I think I could straighten her out.

- Think that engine would fit? - Yeah.

- Let's do it. - Alright.

'Well that's step number one.'

'Got us a chassis and it just might work out for us.'

Now, all we gotta do is straighten out that front end

drop that engine in there

and get the dang car to the startin' line.

We got two and a half days.

It's tall order, alright. But we're gonna have to do it.

Uncle Jesse really stuck his neck out for us this time.

How do we get into these things?

Clean livin', I guess.

Nah.

If the boys only knew that hidden behind

the dashboard of the wreck was $50,000 in gold-dust

well, they wouldn't know how to spend it either.

Them Dukes are the only people I know

that would have a wreck with a wreck.

That was close enough.

Yeah. We almost got sent to the pits

before we even started the race.

Let's drive back to Cooter's, uh, slow and easy.

Meanwhile, the only two people that knew

about the fortune stashed in that wreck

are locked up tight in the Capitol City jail.

Or are they?

That car.

Get outta here.

That's good right there, y'all. You can drop it on down now.

Well?

Little worse than I expected.

I seen 'em worse than this, Uncle Jesse, uh..

And we gonna make us a silk purse

out of a sow's ear right here.

Well, Cooter, where do we start?

We start with some acetylene torches

some crowbars and we just go to bendin' metal.

While you boys are doing that, Bo and me'll go to the farm

and pick up the engine.

'See y'all later.'

Friends, that's serious shootin'.

Now, during all this, Bo and Uncle Jesse

had picked up the boys' new engine

and was headin' back to Cooter's garage.

Meanwhile, Boss was gobblin' groceries with one hand

and road-testin' the Hogg Hellcat with the other.

Uncle, Uncle Jesse.

You, look what you made me do now.

You done scuffed that sandwich beyond repair.

If you'd given me a bite, we wouldn't be in a mess.

Now, back in Capitol City, the gold-dust twins

had finally made the rounds of the junkyards

and hit pay dirt.

Yeah, that's right.

Sheriff's office hauled it in yesterday.

'Beat up black '68 coupe.'

'Looked like it been through a meat grinder.'

He was Glad to get rid of it.

Where is it? We want that car.

'Sorry, you're a little late.'

Uh, two fellas bought it yesterday, right after. Huh!

They towed it away.

'Who were they?'

Come on. Talk!

We want names. Where do they live?

I don't have no names. It was a cash deal.

All I know, it was two young fellows.

One was blond and one was dark-haired.

They said they's from Hazzard. They called each other cousin.

Alright now, friend

if you know what's good for you, you'll forget you even saw us.

'I guess we head for Hazzard.'

'You got it, babe.'

Meanwhile, Cooter and the Dukes had re-hauled and overhauled

that piece of junk into something respectable.

But they still ain't discovered the gold

stashed behind the dashboard.

These old leaf springs look just fine.

I think them new shocks we put on oughta help us out a lot.

That's good 'cause if she gets to swayin'

she'll go out from under you.

- What are you doing? - I'm welding the door shut.

What are you doing that for?

You weld the door's shut on a racing car for safety sake.

How do you get in?

Climb through the windows.

Hmm, count me out.

Okay, everybody time to take a break.

- Hallelujah. - Put it right here.

Got you sandwiches and coffee and cookies.

- It's about time. - Yeah.

Whoa, look out. Don't spill the coffee.

- Cookies? - Alright.

Well this thing's starting to look like a car already.

- How about that? Here you go. - Some of that java.

How did your first day go?

Oh, not so good, Uncle Jesse.

I mixed up orders, and then I managed

to spill a whole tray on Boss Hogg.

Well that ain't so bad.

Sounds to me like you did just fine.

Listen, we got a long night ahead of us.

We better get back at it.

But I ain't even got mine unwrapped.

I ain't even had a bite yet.

I'm taking mine with me.

Think you're gonna get this thing started in two days?

We're sure gonna give it a try.

Mayonnaise?

And with the dawn, came, you know who

on the prowl for Bo and Luke

and their wrecked getaway car.

Jiggle that engine a little, will you?

That's it.

'That got it, ugh'.

Okay. I think I got everything y'all need out at the farm.

I'll get into some work clothes and I'll be right back, okay?

- See you later, babe. - Ah.

Listen, the only way we're gonna see that vehicle now though

is through those windows because they got the doors all locked.

That's right, that's right. Alright, well then listen.

Put that rope around you, get down there.

I'll hold on and you take a look.

- Alright. - Come on.

Wrong, wrong! No, do.

I ain't gonna do that. No, no. Listen. Listen, Boss.

- I'm terrified of heights. - Yeah?

In fact, standing on a short stump I get a nosebleed.

Alright, fraidy cat.

Listen, put the rope around me. I'll go down. Tie it around.

'I got the front end done. I gotta get to the back'.

'You know, this reminds me of the time'

'Old J.D. and me built a... a moonshine car.'

Alright. Alright, I gotta get down there now.

Well, hurry up.

I can't get my foot around. That's it. I got it.

Hold me tight. Don't let go.

Hold on, will you? Hold on to it!

That's burning my hand.

So I said to J.D., "If I was you

I... wouldn't take that panel off without draining that engine."

- Go on, take a peek. - I will.

Oh, goody, oh.

- Oh! Watch this thing. - Oh, oh..

No, no, no! Rosco, Rosco!

'Hey! I can't hold on.'

'Hang on.'

Old J.D., he said, "Well, I'll just lower it

a little bit".

- I can't hold on. - 'Hang on now!'

I can't hold on..

Hang on, Boss.

We'll slip a new gasket in there..

And save all that oil.

Alright, let go, Rosco.

No, don't Rosco! Don't let go!

Don't let go. No!

- Hang on now. You alright? - You alright?

Rosco, get on down here.

Get that rope off him.

Let me out of here. Let me out of here, will you?

- Let me out.. - Watch your step now, Boss.

- Let me give you a hand there. - Oh, no, no, no!

Put-put me down! Put me down!

What are you Dukes trying to do, kill me?

From the looks of things, we just saved you.

Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What were you doing up on my roof?

'Trying to sneak a peak at our racecar?'

Uh, uh... I'll tell you what we were doing.

Rosco, come down here and tell 'em.

- Little buddy. - There you are.

'There you are. I'm alright, I'm alright.'

Just tell these Dukes that we were just making

a safety inspection of the building under the code.

- We were? - Yeah, of course we were!

- Of course we were! - Get me out of here.

'I want you to give Cooter a citation'

'for having an unsafe roof'.

Listen, uh..

You get a chance to see that vehicle on your way down?

Would you hush up? Hush up.

- I didn't see nothin'. - No.

So, listen, put a 24-hour guard on my Hogg Hellcat.

These Dukes will do anything to win this race.

- We gotta get back to work. - Hang on.

We've been workin' all night. Why don't you take a break?

Me and Bo will run over to the coffee shop and get something.

That's a good idea.

Get me a couple of cups, will you? With cream?

- Sure.. - You got it.

- Yeah, a-and... jelly doughnut. - Yeah, you got it.

Uh, two jelly doughnuts.

He took the last pan nut out and the pan didn't come down.

So he thought he'd just tap it a little bit.

Well, he tapped it.

And 16 quarts of oil come down right in his face.

Sure did.

Ah, that's a good one, Uncle Jesse.

Meanwhile, the baddies had been in Hazzard

asking questions about two cousins..

One dark-haired and the other blonde.

They was told that it was probably the Duke boys

since the only other cousins like that

was Thurlow Westley's two mules.

Hi, boys. Uh, you got a second?

- We'd like to talk to you. - Yeah. Sure, we got a second.

- Hi. - What can we do for you?

It's about the wrecked car you guys picked up

in Capital City yesterday.

You see, it got pulled onto that junkyard by mistake.

It's uh, it's ours.

And, uh, we'd like it back.

Well, uh, shoot, mister...

Please, fellas. It's not worth anything.

And besides, we went on our honeymoon in that car.

Yeah. You know, it's got a lot of sentimental value

so... come on, how about it?

We'd sure like to help

but we paid for that car fair and square. We got plans for it.

Come on, boys, we'll pay you what it cost you

but we want that car.

Mister, uh, we need the car till Saturday.

M-maybe after then we can sit around and talk about it, but...

We ain't waitin'.

'Come on, move around the corner and let's discuss this.'

- Come on, Bo. - Come on, move it.

Friends, that must've been some honeymoon.

Okay, boys, start talking. Now, where's that car?

Remember, friends, this old boy is a pretty fair shot.

Stay there.

Come on, Bo.

Hey, let's go over here.

Oh!

Oh!

I just don't get it.

What could be so all-fired important about that car

that them two are hot under the collar to get it back?

You heard 'em, sentimental value.

- Uh-huh. - If you buy that.

Let's head back to Cooter's. Take the high road.

Alright.

Oh..

- Oh, where have you been? - I lost them.

- What are we gonna do? - Come on.

'How come you'd be comin' in thataway'?

It's a long story, Uncle Jesse. Cooter, Cooter! Wake up.

Listen, we're gonna talk about it later. I gotta CB Rosco.

You got the coffee?

Rosco, this here's Luke Duke. Come in, please.

'We got an emergency.'

Oh. Oh..

Uh, Rosco P. Coltrane here.

Uh, alright, state your business.

'Look, me and Bo just got shot at by some couple'

'we ain't never seen before.'

- You got shot at? - Yeah, yeah, listen.

'Do you expect me to buy that?'

'Well, I don't.'

Listen here. I just know this is a trick

so that I will get away from Boss's vehicle.

And you can do something to it. Come back.

Rosco, this ain't no trick. We could have been killed.

'Oh, tiddly-tuddly.'

I'm not gonna buy that story.

See, Boss has told me

to stay 24 hours on guard on this vehicle.

And that's exactly what I intend to do.

So you ain't gonna do nothin'?

'Now, I have spoken. Over and out.'

Dang it all.

Trying to talk to that Rosco is like talkin' to a rock.

What's going on here anyway?

Couple that owned this car want it back.

They say it's got some sort of sentimental value.

That don't give them no right to go shootin' at you.

We're gonna have to worry about all that after the race.

Startin' time just keeps on creepin' up on us.

Luke. Luke, come here.

That ain't the only thing creepin' up on us.

'That them?'

'Sure is'.

Looks like they're headin' out of town.

Or headin' back to the farm.

- Daisy! - Oh, wait a minute..

Bo Peep, this here's Lost Sheep.

'Come on in, Bo Peep.'

I hear you, Bo, what's up?

Listen, we want you to get out of the farmhouse. Get out fast.

There's a couple totin' guns lookin' for Luke and me.

We don't want 'em runnin' into you.

Grab one of them bows and arrows on the way out the door.

Now, even back then the boys were on probation

and they couldn't touch firearms.

Even to defend themselves.

So them bows and arrows just had to do.

What I can't understand though

is what they want with this old wreck anyway?

Well, there's only two reasons.

Either they wanna put it somewhere

where nobody'll ever find it

or they got somethin' hidden in it.

Well, we about had it torn apart and ain't seen nothin'.

Whatever it is, we'll have to worry about it later.

Race is tomorrow and we ain't even fired up a spark plug.

We got plenty of work left to do.

We're gonna have to keep watch. Mind takin' the first shift?

No. You think you're gonna get this thing started?

Are you kiddin'?

We'd better.

Now, here's what was happening'.

The crooks were searchin' for the car and the boys

while the Dukes and Cooter were workin' into the night

shapin' up that racecar.

And Boss' racer was being guarded around the clock

by the entire Hazzard Sheriff's Department

Ol' Rosco.

You see, back then ol' Boss was so cheap

that he wouldn't even hire a deputy sheriff

a police dog or even a moderately alert chihuahua.

I knew it.

Rosco!

Oh! Santa Claus is gonna steal Boss'...

- Huh? - Oh.

- Oh, Boss. I-it's you. - Yeah. It's me.

Oh... hi.

Hi? Hi? I'll "hi" you

right into the unemployment office, you dodo.

Listen, if you fall asleep on the job again

you're fired.

- You hear? - Well, I won't.

- Alright. Now stay awake. - I'll do it.

Me, I'm gonna have a midnight snack.

Then I'm gonna get a good night's sleep

so I'll be right sharp for the race tomorrow.

- Oh, right! - Yeah.

Well, nighty-night. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Ah-da-da-da-da! Huh!

They just don't make grownups like they used to.

- Hm. - Hm.

Hm.

Da-da-da-da-da!

Alright.

Hit it.

Hit it again.

Yeah!

- You did it. - Yes, sir. We got us a horse.

Yeah, boy.

Hear that little tappin' in there, Cooter?

A little tappin'. The timing's a little off.

Listen, you two get after that.

We'll find some paint to throw on this thing.

Uncle Jesse, that thing sounds great, huh?

Is this all the paint you got here, Cooter?

Well, this is all, it's all orange.

Yeah, y'all, I am a little thin in the paint department

but, uh, now that's a nice reddish-orange.

You know, for eight years

I've been wondering how that happened.

When the sun finally rose on Hazzard

the mornin' of the big race eight years ago..

The sound of a powerful motor could be heard

comin' out of Cooter's garage.

- Yeah. - Wow.

It's awesome. It's just awesome!

Yeah, and this old boy's gonna run awesome too.

I love the way you put that "01" on the side.

From now on out, that's gonna be the story of our lives.

We start out with nothin'. It's number one all the way.

Amen. I'll tell you somethin' else

Uncle Jesse couldn't have come up with a better name.

After we put the rebel flag on and that dixie horn in

there couldn't be nothin' more appropriate than "General Lee."

Well, we only got a couple hours till race time.

If we're gonna get a trial run, we better get at it.

And Bo, listen..

I'm lettin' you drive this thing, but you be careful.

Yeah, I'll be careful.

'Hey.'

Beautiful.

'Cousin, even if I do say so myself'

we did a heck of a job on that there engine.

You got that good.

We got a couple of things to smooth out yet.

'Lost Sheep callin' Shepherd.'

'Lost Sheep callin' Shepherd, come back.'

Uh, this is Shepherd. I hear you.

Uh, uh... how's it going?

'We're doin' just fine.'

'Got a couple of minor adjustments to make'

but why don't y'all jump in the truck

and meet us over at the Boars Nest?

A-a-any sign of them gunslingers?

No, and we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Hey, Uncle Jesse..

We think we got a chance of winnin' that thing.

Listen, we'll get on over there and get you boys signed in

and pay the entry fee and everything.

And, boys..

I'm proud of you.

This is Shepherd. Out.

Hey, did you see who was in that racing car?

That looked like them two hick cousins.

And it looked just like our car.

Whoa.

Oh, shoot. It's them again.

Pull over, you rubes. We want that car.

Why don't you just leave us alone?

We bought this car. It's ours.

Yeah, and this says it's ours. Now, pull over!

Hit it, Bo.

Aw, dang it! Them two never give up.

We left the dang bow and arrows in the trunk.

Well, the General needed a trial run. He's gettin' it.

Oh, great. The dang bridge is washed out.

Oh, we got 'em now.

Why aren't you slowin' down? We're gonna crash.

Well... wish me luck.

Bo!

Folks, this here is a historic moment.

The first jump ever made by General Lee.

It's okay, sugar.

We'll have to take the long way around, but we'll get 'em.

You okay?

Yeah.

We just jumped a dang creek.

Yeah!

General Lee always was a cavalry man, huh?

We built more into this car than just plugs and pistons, I guess.

Fightin' spirit of the South. Come on. We got a race to run.

Hang on, I'm gonna get the bows and arrows.

'Cause I don't wanna have to do that again.

General, you're somethin' else.

We jumped us a creek.

Hit it.

Jumped right over that creek, didn't we?

Sure as heck did. Right clean over it.

Woo-hoo!

And this is the Boars Nest eight years ago.

Well, at least, it didn't deteriorate.

And this is the start-finish line of the big race

that's gonna either save the Duke farm or plow it under.

'J.D.?'

Good luck to you.

J.D., the Dukes is entering a car in the big race

and here's our $500 entry fee. Give me an application.

'You're enterin' the race?'

Jesse Duke, don't tell me that you're serious and thinkin' that

you can beat anybody in that piece of junk you drove up in.

No, we're entering the General Lee, Boss.

- 'General Lee?' - 'General Lee?'

- Honey, General Lee is dead. - Yeah.

Just like yours and anybody's chances of beatin' me

and my Hogg Hellcat.

'Listen, if you happen to have a vehicle'

that is so hot, and so fast, where you hidin' it?

It's gonna be along soon enough y'all.

Bo and Luke are drivin' it over here.

Here's our entry form.

Well, Bo and Luke just better get here fast.

On account of this here race is startin' in five minutes.

And we ain't gonna wait for nobody.

- Nobody. - Now come on, Rosco.

You'll be announcing the race from inside the car.

Oh, goody, goody gum drops.

I want you to practice on your vocal cords.

Oh, I'll do that. Do-do-do-do.

No, no, no. Mi-mi-mi-mi.

Oh, do-do-do-do.

No, no! Come on, I'll show you what to do.

I'll tell you, this is startin' to get to me.

You think the boys' got a chance?

Well..

All our hopes and prayers will be ridin' with 'em.

To say nothin' of the farm, and the pickup truck

and everythin' else we own.

Wonder what's keepin' 'em.

Oh, would you just stop? Your voice sounds fine.

- Oh, good. - Start the race.

Alright, gentlemen!

To your cars.

'Hold it, Rosco.'

Oh, good grief.

Now, you can't start the race yet.

- Oh. - The boys' ain't here.

- Oh. - Yes, they are.

'Alright.'

- Oh, you made it. - Yeah, we did.

Woo!

Well, what in the name of all that's holy is this thing?

Boss, meet the General Lee.

- Oh, it's the General Lee. - Oh. General Lee.

Well, it sure is the ugliest color I ever did see.

Oh, ugly, ugly, ugly.

Ugly, huh? The only thing you're gonna see of this car

once the race starts is the tail-end

spittin' dust back at you.

- Oh, is that so? - Oh?

- You hear that, Rosco? - Oh.

These Dukes think they're gonna beat the Hogg Hellcat.

'Oh, tish-tosh, here.'

Listen, in fact, I am so confident

that Boss' car is gonna beat this orange clunker

that if it doesn't, I will cut off my mustache.

Yeah, and I'll eat my hat.

He'll eat his hat.

Alright, gentlemen, you've got yourselves a bet.

Let's get this race started.

- Alright. - Let's get started.

And I'll tell you what, I'll even let Daisy here

wave the startin' flag.

'While at the same time, you Dukes are wavin' bye-bye'

to your entry fee, your loan and your farm.

We'll see about that, J.D. We'll just see about that.

Alright, gentlemen, start your engines!

- Alright. - Come on.

- Good luck. - Thanks a lot.

Alright, racing fans

this is your announcer and sheriff, Rosco P. Coltrane

bringing you the Annual Hazzard County Road Race Championship.

Now, listen, this is brought to you absolutely free by H.B.C.

'That's Hogg Broadcasting Company.'

'Daisy Duke will now start the race.'

- Ready? - Yep.

Let's go.

Hit it!

'Yee-haw!'

Alright. We're off, racing fans.

'Yeah, we sure are.'

'Alright, start with a commercial, will you?'

'Oh, uh, alright, racing fans'

'now this program is being brought to you completely free'

'by Hogg's Friendly Fertilizing Company.'

'Uh, it's the friendly fertilizer.'

- Remember, it grows on you. - Yeah.

And now, back to the race.

'Yeah, some race. Oh, my goodness.'

'Number 11 is in the lead, followed by number 7.'

'And then number 01, which is the General Lee'

'followed by 66.'

And then, of course, there's 13, Hogg's Hellcat

which is bringin' up the rear.

- Yeah, but not for long. - Not for long.

Dukes cut me off at the start.

Yeah.

Out of my way, you losers!

'Yeah.'

Now, 66 is old Cy Morley.

And that's the very moment he gave up racing.

There, that's one.

Uh, yeah, uh, racing fans, number 66 just crashed.

Get 'em, General.

Look out.

Hang on.

'I guess that took care of them.'

Whoa! Uh, good news, good news.

Uh, uh, number 7 and number 01, the General Lee

'is now out of the race.'

Well, that tears it.

Looks like some kind of road race going on.

You're right.

This must have been where them cousins were headed.

'There they are.'

They ain't gettin' away this time.

Alright, cousins, pull over or you're dead.

Luke, this just ain't our day.

Alright, y-you got us.

'We'll-we'll pull right over.'

- Hit it. - What?

Go!

Aim for a tire. We gotta stop them.

Listen, you want marksmanship, call Robin Hood, alright?

Look at that, Ginny, a bow and arrow.

They've got to be kidding.

Hang on, baby. Hang on.

Alright.

You okay?

Well, looks like they're okay.

Argh.

Whoo!

Nice shooting, Robin.

Ah, I'll tell you what. You just get after that Hellcat, okay?

Alright.

Whoa! Whoa..

- That does it. Hallelujah! - Oh, goody, goody.

Oh, nobody can stop me now, Rosco.

- Nobody. - Includin' them Dukes.

Yeah, that 10,000 bucks is as good as mine.

Not to mention the Duke farm.

Come on, Rosco. What's goin' on?

What's going on with Bo and Luke?

'Well, folks, the race is about over.'

- Yeah! - Hoggs Hellcat is number one.

Oh-h yeah.

Uh, and there ain't nobody else in sight.

'And speakin' of sights, just wait until you folks'

'cast your beady blues on the colorful new sack'

'of Hogg's Happy Fertilizer.'

Hey, look at this.

It's a bag of gold dust, Bo.

Must've been stuck up there underneath the dashboard.

Hey, you know somethin'? I bet that's what them two is after.

You got that right.

We'll get into that later. Right now we got a race to win.

Look at that, Rosco.

- The coast is clear. - It's clear.

There's Boss up ahead.

And he's almost at the finish line too.

Come on, General. Gotta give it everythin' we got.

Don't fail us now.

Time for a little victory snack.

Oh, yeah.

Could I have a little chomp? Hm?

Well-well, alright. In honor of the occasion.

- Just one little bite. - Okay.

- I got an idea. - What?

Think you could pull off that jumpin' trick again?

Uh..

Yeah. With my eyes closed.

'Let her rip.'

Hang on, cousin.

- A-ah! - It's the Dukes.

'Where did they come from?'

- Yeah. - Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!

Alright, alright.

And so the race had a happy ending.

The Dukes won the $10,000 prize

and caught up a little on their debts

was able to buy a new well pump

and even give part of it to charity.

The road company Bonnie and Clyde was apprehended

and confessed to stashing the gold dust

behind the General's instrument panel.

So that mystery was solved.

And last, but not least, the icin' on the cake

is Boss and Rosco paid off their race debt.

I think old Boss is beginning to put on a little weight.

'I'll never forget that day as long as I live.'

At the rate you're going, that's gonna be a long time.

Hear, hear.

- See you all later. - Alright.

We got you. Impound that vehicle.

I love it. I love it.

We're gonna impound this General...

You gotta catch us first.

Don't let them get away.

Now, don't just stand there.

- You know somethin'? - What's that?

If they went away, I think I'd miss 'em.

He may drive better, but he ain't no smarter.

And that, friends, is how General Lee

came to live permanent with the Dukes.

And Hazzard County ain't been the same since.
