00:01Tonight, on the Dukes...
00:02To the gentlemen. He never let us down.
00:04The boys remember the wreck.
00:06And we gonna make us a silk purse out of a sows here.
00:10That started the whole thing.
00:12Meet the General Lee.
00:13Oh, glug glug!
00:16Oh!
00:21I can't over it!
00:25Come on, Boat!
00:27Don't let the big bugs bite!
00:35Just a good old boy
00:38Never meaning no harm
00:42Beats all you've never saw
00:44Been in trouble with the law
00:46Since the day they was born
00:49Straightening the curves
00:53Flanding the hills
00:57Someday the mountain might get them
00:59But the law never will
01:02Making their way
01:05The only way they know how
01:09That's just a little bit more
01:11Than the law will allow
01:14Just a good old boy
01:18Wouldn't change if they could
01:22Fightin' the system
01:23Like a true modern-day Robin Hood
01:35Now this looks like a typical day in Hazard County
01:38With a big orange car being chased by a giggling sheriff, a dog, and a fat man in a white
01:43suit.
01:43But today is sorta special
01:50Wait a minute, where'd that go?
01:52Shoot me, ain't got time to find out
01:54Hang on
02:07Hold me in
02:07Hold me in
02:09Get away, get away, get away
02:14I can't believe you went through there
02:16Neither can I
02:19Anyhow, threading a needle through a drain pipe at 55 miles an hour
02:23Ain't what makes this day special
02:32And it's about time
02:34Happy birthday
02:35What's going on?
02:36Happy birthday
02:37Happy birthday party
02:37We thought you was gonna miss it
02:39Y'all were a couple of months early, ain't you?
02:41No, it's not for you
02:42Look at it
02:43Oh, I can't be that time already
02:45You see, it was eight years ago today that the General Lee came into being
02:49Cause before then, he was just another cop
02:51He's one of the family and he's earned it
02:54To the General
02:55Our best pal
02:56He ain't never let us down
02:57Yeah, that's for sure
02:58You know, y'all ain't a soul in Hazard
03:00Including Boss Hogg that ain't been bailed out one time or another
03:03By the old General
03:05It's hard to think we were ever without him
03:07Yeah, we were though
03:08It's been, uh
03:10My gosh, it's been eight years
03:11I was just out of the Marine Corps
03:13You were just getting out of high school
03:14Who was driving that old wreck of a truck
03:16Old man Conkey had
03:18Thrilled that truck away for ten years
03:20When you two drug it up here in the yard
03:24Dang it, it's Roscoe again
03:26This is a phony speed trap
03:28Did he do that?
03:29He did it
03:30Come on, get after it
03:31I'm getting after it
03:32Just ain't doing much good
03:43All right
03:44We caught you Duke this time
03:47Wow, what a chase you gave us
03:49Old Boss was a mite skinnier back then
03:51He looks plum poorly
03:52And how about that bird nest under Roscoe's nose
03:55Would you just stop pimping and preening on that lip fuzz of yours
03:58Oh
03:59And write these here Duke boys up
04:00Oh, write us up?
04:02What for?
04:02We weren't speeding
04:02This thing won't even do the speed limit
04:04No, they got a point there
04:07They were going that slow, huh?
04:08All right
04:09Then just write them up a ticket for impeding traffic
04:13Impeding traffic?
04:14Oh, good
04:15Would you please?
04:15That's brilliant
04:16I'm glad you're my partner
04:17Just start writing, please
04:18I'm right
04:18Yeah, when he gets through writing that ticket
04:20You Duke boys are going to have to pay 25 bucks
04:23Cash on the barrel head
04:24We ain't got no 25 bucks
04:27Could we maybe owe it to you?
04:28Owe me? Owe me?
04:30You owe me too much already
04:31Yeah
04:31I'll tell you what I'm going to have to do
04:33I'm going to have to impound that vehicle of yours
04:35Until you make good on all them other tickets
04:37That's including this one
04:38Roscoe, get in there and stop driving
04:40Come on, give him the ticket and stop driving
04:42Roscoe, you can't leave us out here in the middle of the road with no wheels
04:44Well, I don't intend to do that
04:46I'm going to CB your Uncle Jesse and have him pick you up
04:53Better day and a half
04:55He's spelled impeding wrong
05:01There he is again
05:03Annual road racing champ
05:04$10,000
05:05$10,000
05:06And this is going to be our year
05:12Oh, let's go to here
05:14Don't be here
05:15Well, some things don't change in eight years
05:18Daisy's still cute as a speckled pup
05:20Uncle Jesse must have been born feisty
05:22No way could that truck be speeding
05:24You know, it just ain't fair bossing pounding your truck like that
05:27Eh, fair ain't got nothing to do with it
05:29Not when it comes to boss
05:30Just how much money he can take in
05:32Looks like that road race he has
05:34Looks like stealing money for bossing that souped up car
05:36Yeah, just get out of here
05:41And I thought this was going to be the year y'all broke his streak
05:44Yeah, so did we
05:45Now we got us a souped up engine
05:46No car to put it in
05:47Well, what with the drought and all
05:49This has been the worst year we've had on that farm
05:51I just, I ain't got the money
05:53You don't have to apologize, Uncle Jesse
05:55You always give us more than we deserve anyway
05:57That's for sure
05:58We'll win it some other year
06:01Just stay right where you are, don't move
06:04What's that?
06:05But things wasn't that simple
06:07Cause over in Capital City
06:09Something was happening that would affect the whole future of the Duke family
06:15Oh, he
06:25This sure is a terrific car you swiped, honey
06:27We made a clean getaway
06:28I told you we'd make a great team, baby
06:30This is our biggest hit so far
06:33We got us 50 grand in gold dust
06:35Shoot, Bonnie and Clyde didn't start out this good
06:39Now, let's pull over right up here and stash you like we planned
06:42Friends, how are two losers whose heroes are Bonnie and Clyde
06:45Who just stole something that they can't spend
06:48Going to affect the dukes?
06:56Sure is a beauty
06:59It looks powerful, don't it?
07:00Yeah
07:02Well, we put every ounce of know-how we got into that engine
07:05Yeah, and a couple ounces we ain't got
07:08Boys
07:09If you was to get the money
07:12Do you think you could have a car ready to race by Saturday?
07:16Well, that's three days away
07:18Providing we could find a body and a chassis that thing would fit into
07:21And providing we could come up with that $500 entry fee
07:24I'm going to get you that money
07:25What are you talking about?
07:27Wow!
07:28I'm going to J.D. Hogg
07:29And I'm going to ask him for a loan
07:31You said you'd never go to Boss for a loan
07:34You know he's just going to rip you off, Uncle Jesse
07:36I know
07:37I know that
07:38Now just be quiet
07:39When you get a little older
07:41You'll learn that sometimes you've just got to take a chance on the people you love
07:46And do what you got to do
07:48And right now we got to get ourselves a race car
07:51Come on, let's go get a car
07:52Come on
07:53All right
07:54Get in here
07:54How about that?
07:56They're hiding all that gold dust behind the instrument panel
07:59Reckon that's better than under the mattress
08:00Lots less lumpier, too
08:02There!
08:04Tucked away real snug
08:06Well, ain't it been a piece of cake just like I promised you, Jimmy?
08:09It sure is
08:09And to think of all that time I wasted hauling warm beer at that broken down bowling alley
08:14Am I glad you came along, Rick?
08:16You stick with me, sugar
08:18We got a long money-making career ahead of us
08:27Now them larcenous lovebirds sure guessed wrong on that one
08:30Here comes the Sheriff of Capital City
08:33You got company
09:01And meanwhile over in Hazard
09:03Little old pudgy boss was working on his race car
09:06His pride and joy back in them days
09:09The Hog Hellcat
09:10Here come them nosy dudes
09:11Oh, good grief
09:13Oh, ho!
09:14I certainly am going to earn my one percent
09:17Oh, good grief
09:18J.D.
09:19Hello, Jesse
09:20We got to talk to you
09:21We got something very important to talk to you about
09:23All right, go ahead
09:23Uh, well, uh, we want to ask you
09:28Huh?
09:29I can't say it, you say it
09:31Well, boss, we need a loan
09:33Oh, is that what you want? A loan?
09:36Yeah
09:36Never let it be said
09:37That J.D. Hoggs Bank of Hazard County
09:40Ever turned down a fair request of any citizen for a loan
09:43Oh!
09:44So I'll give you a loan
09:45Uh, at an interest rate of thirty percent
09:47Thirty percent?
09:49That's three times your usual rate
09:52Oh, is it?
09:52Yeah
09:53Well, so it is
09:53Yeah
09:53And I'm gonna have to attach your form as collateral, too
09:56Our form?
09:58It's a little rich for our blood, ain't it?
10:00A little rich
10:01Uh, J.D., I'll tell you what I'll do
10:05I'll take the loan for fifteen percent interest
10:08Thirty percent or forget it?
10:10Ah, forget it
10:11Well, then
10:11Wait a minute
10:13Boss, you have always wanted me to come to work for you at the Boar's Nest, right?
10:17Yeah, so?
10:18Yeah
10:18Well, if you give Uncle Jesse fifteen percent like he said, I'll do it
10:23Daisy, you don't wanna go work for the boss
10:25Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
10:28Hold your horses, everybody
10:29Let me get this straight, Daisy
10:32You're saying that you'd go to work for me at the Boar's Nest, permanent, if I give Uncle Jesse a
10:39loan at twenty-five percent interest
10:41I said fifteen percent, boss
10:43Make it twenty!
10:45Fifteen percent or you can forget it
10:46Wait a minute!
10:47Wait a minute!
10:48You may be a duke, but you sure got the most beautiful legs in all of Georgia
10:52So, it's a deal!
10:55Yeah
10:55All right
10:58Well, there ain't nothing wrong with old boss's eyes
11:03Now, Daisy was a mite green on the job
11:06She spilled more beer than she sold
11:10I think y'all owe me some money here
11:11Oh, Daisy
11:12There we go, yes, boss
11:13I need some more barbecue sauce, honey
11:15Okay, boss, it'll be one second, please
11:17All right, but hurry up
11:17You bet
11:18Here you go, honey
11:20No, no, no, we ordered the beer now
11:22Oops
11:22Oh, I'm sorry
11:24Here, I have it right here, though
11:26There you go
11:26No, honey, honey, listen
11:28No, we ordered tap beer, not these here cans now
11:31Oh, well
11:33Well, I happen to have it right here
11:34There you go
11:36Whoops
11:41No, no, no, don't do that
11:42Don't do that
11:43Don't do that
11:44Just go get me a towel
11:45Please, please, please, please
11:46You're not gonna drink some wine right there
11:49All right, go on, please
11:50I just can't
11:51All right, all right
11:56All right, all right
11:56Meanwhile, over in Capital City
11:58The sheriff had searched the wrecked getaway car
12:00But he couldn't find the stolen gold
12:01So he locked up the two crooks till he could get them to talk
12:04That would be my guess
12:06And the Duke boys, with the loan money
12:08Had borrowed old Cooter's tow truck
12:09And were searching the junkyards for just the right wreck
12:13Friends, now that takes a special eye
12:15Had a decent chassis in any of them
12:16Sure, we have better luck in Capital City
12:18Gotta have better luck in Capital City
12:20If we're gonna make that race, we gotta find something soon
12:24Roscoe, did you hear that?
12:26This here fellow's from Tennessee
12:27Looks like my fame has spread far and wide
12:31If you keep maw at your nose
12:33That's not all that's gonna spread
12:34Huh?
12:35Oh, don't be silly
12:36I won't get fed
12:37No, sir, this stuff goes right through
12:39Boss?
12:40Excuse me
12:40Big white snow goose
12:41Boss, I got your towel
12:43Oh, good, give me my towel
12:44Oh!
12:45Oh!
12:45Oh!
12:47Oh, my...
12:48What a horrendous
12:50Get out!
12:50Get out!
12:51Yes!
12:52Now, y'all watch close
12:53You see that yellow record, don't you?
12:55Well, it's just delivered the stolen getaway car
12:57But you still got you-know-what in it
12:59And it's just been sold for junk
13:02Now, there ain't nobody that don't know what's about to happen
13:11Howdy
13:12Hey
13:13You can call it fate
13:14In Hazard County, it's called Duke's Luck
13:17Yeah
13:17But something led Bo and Luke to that Capital City junkyard
13:20And right up to that wreck of an old black charger
13:25Sounds like a song old Willie would sing, don't it?
13:27It's a little rough underneath there, don't it?
13:30How bad is it?
13:31Well
13:33We can get after it with some tools
13:34We can fix it up, I guess
13:36Front end's pretty banged up
13:39I think I can straighten her out
13:41Think the engine would fit?
13:42Yeah?
13:45Let's do it
13:46All right
13:47Well, that's step number one
13:49Got us a chassis and a frame, just might work out for us
13:51All we gotta do is straighten out that front end
13:54Drop that engine in there and get the dang car to the starting line
13:58We got two and a half days
14:00It's a tall order, all right
14:02But we're gonna have to do it
14:04Jesse really stuck his neck out for us this time
14:08How do we get into these things?
14:10Clean living, I guess
14:15If the boys only knew that hidden behind the dashboard of that wreck was $50,000 in gold dust
14:21Well, they wouldn't know how to spin it either
14:24Them Dukes are the only people I know that would have a wreck with a wreck
14:41That was close enough
14:44We almost got sent to the pits before we even started the race
14:47Let's drive back to Cooters, slow and easy
14:51Meanwhile, the only two people that knew about the fortune stashed in that wreck
14:54Are locked up tight in the capital city jail
14:59Or are they?
15:02Get out of here!
15:06Get out of here!
15:12That's good right there y'all, you can drop it on down there
15:18Well?
15:19A little worse than I expected
15:20Oh, I seen them worse than this, Uncle Jesse
15:22I mean, we gonna make us a silk purse out of a sow's ear, right here
15:27Well, Cooter, where do we start?
15:29We start with some saline torches, some crowbars, and we just go to bending metal
15:34Well, you boys are doing that, Bo and me will go over to the farm and pick up the engine
15:39We'll see y'all later
15:55Friends, that's serious shooting
16:06Now, during all this, Bo and Uncle Jesse had picked up the boys' new engine
16:10He was heading back to Cooter's garage
16:17Meanwhile, old boss was gobbling groceries with one hand
16:19and road-testing the hog Hellcat with the other
16:30Uncle Jesse?
16:40No!
16:48You, look what you made me do now!
16:50You done stuffed that sandwich beyond repair
16:53If you'd give me a bite in the first place, it wouldn't be the mess
16:57Now, back in Capital City, the Goldust Twins had finally made the rounds of the junkyards
17:02and hit pay dirt
17:03Yeah, that's right, run
17:05Sure saw us hauling in yesterday
17:06Beat up, black, six-eight coupe
17:08Looked like it's been through a meat grinder
17:10Fellow was glad to get rid of it
17:13Where is it? We want that car
17:14Oh, sorry, a little late
17:16Two fellas bought it yesterday, right after
17:18They tore it away
17:20Who were they?
17:22Come on, talk
17:23We want names, where do they live?
17:25I don't have no names
17:26It was a cash deal
17:27All I know is two young fellas
17:29One was Blum
17:30And one was Darkhead
17:31And they said it's from Hazard
17:33They called each other cousin
17:35Alright now, Fran
17:37You know what's good for you
17:38You'll forget you even saw us
17:43I guess we head for Hazard, right?
17:45You got it, babe
17:46Meanwhile, Cooter and the Dukes had rehauled and overhauled that piece of junk into something respectable
17:51But they still ain't discovered the gold stash behind the dashboard
17:55These old leaf rings look just fine
17:58I think them new shocks you put on there ought to help us out a whole lot
18:01Well, that's good, cause if she gets to swaying, she'll go out from underneath
18:04Yes, sir
18:05What are you doing?
18:06Welding the doors shut
18:07What are you doing that for?
18:09Well, you weld the doors shut on a racing car for safety's sake
18:12How do you get in?
18:14Climb through the windows
18:16Well, count me up
18:18Okay, everybody
18:19Time to take a break
18:20Hallelujah
18:22Woo!
18:23Sandwiches, coffee, cookies
18:25About time
18:27Whoa, look out, don't spill the coffee
18:29Cookies?
18:30Alright
18:31Well, this thing's starting to look like a car already
18:33How about that?
18:35How'd your first day go over to the boar's nest?
18:38Oh, not so good, Uncle Jesse
18:39I mixed up orders
18:40And then I managed to spill a whole tray on by side
18:43Ha ha
18:43Well, that ain't so bad
18:45Sounds to me like it did just fine
18:47No
18:48Listen, we got a long night ahead of us
18:49We better get back at it
18:52But, I even got mine under wraps
18:54I ain't gonna bite you
18:56I'm taking mine with you
18:58Think you're gonna get this thing started in two days?
19:01Well, we sure gonna give it a try
19:03Mayonnaise?
19:09And when the dawn came you know who
19:11On the prowl for Bo and Luke
19:13And their wrecked getaway car
19:20Jiggle that engine a little, will ya?
19:23That's it
19:24That got it
19:26Okay, I think I got everything y'all need out at the farm
19:29So I'll get into some work clothes and I'll be right back, okay?
19:32See you later, man
19:48Listen, the only way we're gonna see that vehicle now, though, is through those windows
19:52Because they got the doors all locked
19:54That's right, that's right
19:55All right, well then, listen
19:56Put that rope around you and get down there, I'll hold onto your good and you take a look
20:00Oh, right
20:00Come on
20:01Wrong, wrong, no, no
20:02I ain't gonna do that
20:03No, no, listen, listen, boss
20:05Listen, I'm terrified at heights
20:06Yeah?
20:06In fact, by standing on a short stump I'll get a nose blade
20:09All right, all right, pretty cat
20:10Listen, put the rope around me, I'll go down
20:12Come on, tie it around
20:13I got the front end done, I gotta get to the back
20:17You know, this reminds me of the time old JD and me built a moonshine car
20:24All right, all right, I gotta get down there now
20:26Go ahead
20:27Come on
20:27Well, hurry up
20:28I can't get my foot around it
20:29There, there, there
20:30I got it
20:31Now hold me tight, don't let go
20:33Hold on with you
20:34Hold on with you, hold on with you
20:34Hold on with you
20:35That's burning my hand
20:36So I said to JD
20:38I was you, I wouldn't take that pan off without draining that engine
20:43Go on, take a peak
20:44I will
20:45Oh, goody oh
20:46Oh, no, no, watch this thing
20:47No, no, no, no!
20:49The bank is
20:50I can't hold on
20:51No, JD, he said
20:53Well, I just lured a little bit
20:55Wait, I can't hold on
20:57Hang on
20:59I can't hold on
21:00I can't hold on
21:01Hang on
21:03Hang on
21:03We'll slip a new casket in there and save all that.
21:08Roscoe!
21:08Where did he get it?
21:09No, no, no!
21:12All right, let go, Roscoe!
21:14No, no, Roscoe, don't let go!
21:15No, Roscoe, don't let go!
21:17No, no!
21:17No!
21:21Hang on, Roscoe, get on down here.
21:26Yeah, roll ball.
21:29Get me out of here!
21:30Get me out of here, will you?
21:32Get me out of here, will you?
21:33Hold on, Bob, I'll give you a hand.
21:35No, no, no, no, no!
21:36Put me down!
21:37Put me down!
21:38What are you trying to do, kill me?
21:40Yeah, if it looks at things, we just saved you.
21:43Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:44What were you doing up on my roof, huh?
21:46Trying to sneak a peek at our new race car?
21:49I'll tell you what we've been doing.
21:50Roscoe, come down here and tell them.
21:52What?
21:53Oh, there you are.
21:54I think you get a paper lock kitten.
21:55I'm all right, I'm all right.
21:56Just tell these dukes that we were just making a safety inspection of the building under the cooch.
22:01We were?
22:01Yeah, of course we were.
22:02Of course we were.
22:03We were just...
22:03Get me out of here, will you?
22:04I want you to give Cooter Davenport a side piece in for having an unsafe route.
22:08Listen, uh...
22:09Did you get a chance to see that vehicle on your way down?
22:12Would you hush up?
22:13Hush up, please.
22:13I didn't see nothing.
22:15So, listen, put a 24-hour guard on my hog hip cat.
22:17These dukes will do anything to win this race.
22:19Yeah, we gotta get back to work, y'all.
22:21Hang on.
22:22Cooter, look, we've been working all night.
22:23Why don't you take a break and me and Bo run over to coffee shop and get us something?
22:27That's a good idea.
22:29Hey, give me a couple of cups of way with cream.
22:31Sure, you got it.
22:32And jelly doughnut.
22:33Yeah, you got it.
22:34Two jelly doughnuts.
22:36He took the last pan nut up, and the pan didn't come out, so he thought he'd just tap it
22:42a little bit.
22:43Well, he tapped it, and 16 quarts of oil come down right in his face.
22:51Very dear.
22:53That's a good one, Uncle Jesse.
22:56Meanwhile, the baddies had been in hazard asking questions about two cousins, one dark-haired and the other blonde.
23:02They was told that it was probably the Duke boys, since the only other cousins like that was Thurlow Wesley's
23:07two mules.
23:09Hi, boys.
23:10You got a second?
23:11We'd like to talk to you.
23:13Yeah.
23:13Sure, we got a second.
23:14What can we do for you?
23:15Well, it's about that wrecked car you guys picked up in Capital City yesterday.
23:19You see, it got pulled onto that junkyard by mistake.
23:22It's ours, and we'd like it back.
23:26Well, shoot, mister.
23:27Please, fellas, it's not worth anything.
23:29Besides, we went on our honeymoon in that car.
23:32Yeah.
23:33You know, it's got a lot of sentimental value, so come on, how about it?
23:37We'd sure like to help you out, but we paid for that car fair and square.
23:40We got plans for it.
23:41Now, come on, boys.
23:42We'll pay you what it costs you, but we want that car.
23:45Mister, uh, we need the car till Saturday, so maybe after then we can sit around and talk about it,
23:50but, uh...
23:50We ain't waiting.
23:52Come on, move around the corner here, and let's discuss this.
23:54Come on, boy.
23:55Come on, move it.
23:56Friends, that must have been some honeymoon.
24:04Okay, boys, start talking.
24:05Now, where's that car?
24:09Remember, friends, this old boy is a pretty fair shot.
24:17Oh, there!
24:20Come on, boat!
24:26Okay, let's go over here.
24:39I just don't get it.
24:41What could be so all-fired important about that car?
24:43Them two are so hot under the collar to get it back.
24:46You heard of.
24:47Fundamental value.
24:48Uh-huh.
24:48You buy that.
24:51Well, let's head back to Cooter's and take the high road.
24:53All right.
24:59I lost him.
25:01Come on.
25:05How come you'd be coming in that way?
25:08It's a long story for just...
25:09Cooter, Cooter, wake up.
25:10We're going to have to talk about it later.
25:12I got to see you, Roscoe.
25:13You got the coffee?
25:15Roscoe, this here's Luke, too.
25:16Come in, please.
25:16You got an emergency.
25:19Oh, oh, hey, hey.
25:23Roscoe, Pete Coltrane, here.
25:25All right, state your business.
25:27Look, me and Bo just got shot at
25:28by some couple we ain't ever seen before.
25:30You got shot at?
25:31Yeah, yeah, listen.
25:32Now, do you expect me to buy that?
25:34Well, I don't.
25:36Listen, here.
25:36I just know this is a trick
25:38so that I will get away from Boss's vehicle
25:40and you can do something to it.
25:41Come back.
25:42Roscoe, this ain't no trick.
25:43Listen, we could have been killed.
25:45Oh, tiddly, tiddly.
25:46Hey, I'm not going to buy that story.
25:48See, Boss has told me to stay 24 hours on guard
25:52on this vehicle.
25:52That's exactly what I intend to do.
25:54So you ain't going to do nothing?
25:56Now, I have spoken.
25:57Over and out.
25:59Dang it all.
26:00Trying to talk to that Roscoe
26:01is like talking to a rock.
26:03What's going on here, anyway?
26:04Well, a couple that used to own this car
26:05want it back.
26:06They say it's got some sort of sentimental value.
26:08Don't give them no right to go shooting at you.
26:11We're going to have to worry about all that
26:12after the race.
26:13Starting time just keeps on creeping up on us.
26:16Luke, come here.
26:17That ain't the only thing creeping up on us.
26:23That then?
26:24Sure is.
26:26Looks like they're heading out of town.
26:28Or heading back to the farm.
26:29Daisy.
26:30Oh, wait a minute.
26:33Bo Peep, this here's lost sheep.
26:34Come on in, Bo Peep.
26:37I hear you, Bo.
26:38What's up?
26:39Yeah, now listen, careful.
26:40We want you to get out of the farmhouse
26:42and get out of there in a hurry.
26:43There's a couple toting guns
26:44that are looking for Luke and me.
26:45We don't want them running into you.
26:46Grab one of them bows and arrows
26:47on the way out the door, all right?
26:51Now, even back then,
26:52the boys were on probation
26:53and they couldn't touch firearms
26:55even to defend themselves.
26:57So them bows and arrows just had to do.
27:12What I can't understand, though,
27:14is what they want with this old wreck anyway.
27:16Well, there's only two reasons.
27:18Either they want to put it somewhere
27:20where nobody will ever find it
27:21or they got something hidden in it.
27:23Well, we about had it torn apart
27:24and I ain't seen nothing.
27:26Whatever it is,
27:27we're going to have to worry about it later.
27:28That race is tomorrow
27:29and we ain't even fired up a spark plug.
27:31We still got plenty of work left to do.
27:33We're going to have to take turns
27:34keeping watch.
27:34You mind taking the first shift?
27:35No.
27:36You think you're going to get
27:37this thing started?
27:38Where are you, kid?
27:40We'd better.
27:42Now, here's what was happening.
27:44First, the crooks was searching
27:45for the car and the boys
27:46while the Dukes and Cooter
27:48were working into the night
27:49shaping up that race car.
27:50And boss's racer
27:52was being guarded
27:53around the clock
27:53by the entire
27:54Hazard Sheriff's Department.
27:56Old Roscoe.
27:57You see, back then
27:58old boss was so cheap
27:59that he wouldn't even hire
28:00a deputy sheriff,
28:01a police dog,
28:02or even a moderately alert chihuahua.
28:04I knew it.
28:05Roscoe!
28:06Oh!
28:07Santa Claus is going to steal bosses!
28:09Huh?
28:09Oh.
28:10Oh, boss.
28:11Yeah.
28:11It's you.
28:12It's me.
28:13Oh.
28:14Hi.
28:14Hi?
28:15Hi?
28:15Now, hi, you're right
28:16into the unemployment office,
28:17you know-do.
28:18Listen, if you fall asleep
28:19on the job again,
28:20you're fired.
28:21Well...
28:21You hear?
28:22I won't.
28:22All right, now stay awake.
28:23I'll do it.
28:24Now, me, I'm going to have
28:25a midnight snack,
28:26and then I'm going to get
28:27a good night's sleep,
28:28so I'll be right sharp
28:29for the race tomorrow.
28:30Oh, right.
28:31Well, nighty-night.
28:32Don't let the bedbugs bite.
28:34Hup, hup, hup, hup, hup, hup.
28:35Huh.
28:36They just don't make
28:37grown-ups like they used to.
28:39Hmm.
28:40Hmm.
28:40Hmm.
28:41Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
28:47He's just...
28:48Hmm.
28:50Hmm.
28:53All right.
28:56Hit it.
29:02Hit it again.
29:06Yeah!
29:07Yeah!
29:08Yeah!
29:08Woo!
29:12We got us a hawk!
29:16Hear that little tapping in there, little Cooter?
29:18Yeah, little tapping, the timing's a little awful.
29:20Well, listen, you two get after that,
29:22and we'll see if we can find some paint to throw on his thing.
29:24All right.
29:24Well, Uncle Jesse, that thing sounds great, huh?
29:26Yes, it is.
29:26Is this all the paint you got here, Cooter?
29:29This is almost all orange.
29:31Yeah, y'all, I am a little thin in the paint department,
29:33but that's a nice reddish-orange.
29:36You know, for eight years, I've been wondering how that happened.
29:39When the sun finally rose on Hazard the morning of the big race eight years ago,
29:43the sound of a powerful motor could be heard coming out of Cooter's garage.
29:55Yeah.
29:56Wow.
29:59It's awesome.
30:01It's just awesome.
30:02Yeah, and this old boy's gonna run awesome, too.
30:05And I love the way you put that old one on the side, fellas.
30:07Yeah, well, from now on out, that's gonna be the story of our lives.
30:10We start out with nothing, it's number one here all the way.
30:13Hey, man, I'll tell you something else.
30:15Uncle Jesse couldn't have come up with a better name.
30:17I mean, after we put the rebel flag on there and stuck that Dixie horn in there,
30:20there couldn't have been nothing more appropriate than General Lee.
30:23Well, y'all, we only got a couple hours till race time.
30:25If we're gonna get a trial run, we better get at it.
30:27And, Bo, listen, I'm letting you drive this thing, but you be careful.
30:32Yeah, I'll be careful.
30:34Hey!
30:48Cousin, even if I do say so myself,
30:50you did a heck of a job on that there engine.
30:52You got that, man.
30:54You got a couple of things to smooth out yet.
30:58Lost sheep calling Shepard.
31:00Lost sheep calling Shepard, come back.
31:02Uh, this is Shepard, I hear you.
31:05Uh, uh, how's it going?
31:07We're doing just fine.
31:08We got a couple of minor adjustments to make,
31:10but why don't y'all jump in the truck and lead us over to Boar's Nest?
31:14Uh, any sign of them gunslingers?
31:16No, and we're keeping our fingers crossed.
31:18Hey, Uncle Jesse, me and Bo think we've got a chance of winning that thing.
31:22Uh, listen, we'll get on over there and get you boys signed in
31:26and pay the entry fee and everything.
31:28And boys, I'm proud of you.
31:32This is Shepard, huh?
31:40Hey.
31:41Did you see who was in that racing car?
31:43That looked like them two hit cousins.
31:45And it looked just like our car.
32:13Oh, shoot, Sam again.
32:16Pull over you, Rooks.
32:17We want that car.
32:18Why don't you just leave us alone?
32:20We bought this car.
32:21It's ours, Rooks.
32:22Yeah, and this says it's ours.
32:24Now pull over.
32:25Hit it, Bo.
32:33Oh, dang it, them two never give up.
32:42Left the dang bow and arrows back on the trunk.
32:44Well, the general needed a trial run.
32:45He's getting it.
32:58Oh, great.
32:59The dang bridge is washed out.
33:04Now we got them now.
33:06Why aren't you slowing down?
33:07We're gonna crash.
33:10Wish me luck.
33:13Folks, this here is a historic moment.
33:16The first jump ever made by General Lee.
33:35It's okay, sugar.
33:36Well, it should take the long way around, but we'll get them.
33:45You okay?
33:46Yeah.
33:47We just jumped to dang creek.
33:50Yeah.
33:51General Lee always was a cavalry man, huh?
33:54We built more into this car than just plugs and pistons, I guess.
33:57Fighting spirit of the south.
33:58Come on, cousin, we got us a race to run.
34:00Hang on a second.
34:01I'm gonna get the bows and arrows.
34:02I don't want to have to do that again.
34:05General, you're something else.
34:09We jumped us a creek.
34:13Get it.
34:14We jumped right over that creek, didn't we?
34:16Right clean over it.
34:18Woo-hoo!
34:23And this is the boar's nest eight years ago.
34:26Well, at least it didn't deteriorate.
34:29And this is the start-finish line of the big race.
34:31It's gonna either save the duke farm or plow it under.
34:57Oh, good luck to you.
35:00The dukes has entered the car in the big race, and here's our $500 entry fee.
35:04Give me an aspirate.
35:06You're entering the race.
35:09Yes, sir, duke.
35:10Don't tell me that you're serious and thinking that you can beat anybody in that piece of junk you just
35:14drove up in.
35:15No, we're entering the General Lee, boss.
35:17General Lee?
35:18General Lee?
35:18Honey, General Lee is dead.
35:20Yeah.
35:21Just like yours and anybody's chances of beating me and my hog, Hill Kid.
35:27Listen, if you happen to have a vehicle that is so hot and so fast, where are you hiding it?
35:33It's gonna be long soon enough, y'all.
35:35Bo and Luke are driving it over here right now.
35:37Here's our entry fee.
35:38Oh, well, Bo and Luke just better get here fast.
35:40On the corner, this year's race is starting in five minutes.
35:43Five?
35:43Yeah, and we ain't gonna wait for nobody.
35:45Nobody.
35:46Now, come on, Roscoe.
35:47You don't forget, you're gonna be announcing the race from inside the car.
35:50Oh, goody, goody.
35:50Yeah, sir, I want you to practice on your vocal cords.
35:52Whoa, do that.
35:53No, no, no, no.
35:54Me, me, me, me.
35:55Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
35:57Come on, I'll tell you what to do.
35:58I'll tell you, Uncle Jesse, this is starting to get to me.
36:01You think the boys got a chance?
36:03Well, all our hopes and prayers will be riding with them.
36:08To say nothing to the farm and the pickup truck and everything else we own.
36:13I wonder what's keeping them.
36:15Now, would you just stop here?
36:16Your voice sounds fine.
36:17Start the race.
36:18Oh, uh.
36:19All right, gentlemen, to your car.
36:22Oh, good grief.
36:25Now, you can't start the race yet.
36:27No, the boys ain't here.
36:28Yes, they are.
36:30All right.
36:38Oh, you see that?
36:39Yeah, he is.
36:41Well, what in the name of all this holy is this thing?
36:44Boss, meet the General Lee.
36:47Oh, Sir General Lee.
36:50Well, it sure is the ugliest color I ever did see.
36:53Oh, ugly, ugly, ugly.
36:55Ugly, huh?
36:55Well, about the only thing you're going to see of this car once the race starts is the
36:58tail end spitting dust back at you.
37:00Oh, that's it.
37:01Did you hear that, Roscoe?
37:03These dudes think they're going to beat the hog hell kid.
37:05Oh, tish, tush here.
37:07Listen, in fact, I am so confident that Boss's car is going to beat this orange clunker that
37:13if it doesn't, I will cut off my mustache.
37:15Yeah.
37:16And I'll eat my hat.
37:17Oh, you'll eat his hat.
37:19Well, all right, gentlemen, you got yourselves a bet.
37:20Now, let's get this race started.
37:23Let's get started.
37:23And I'll tell you what, I'll even let Daisy here wave the starting flag.
37:27Oh, I won't.
37:28Well, at the same time, your dukes are waving bye-bye to your entry fee, your loan, and your
37:34farm.
37:34We'll see about that, J.D.
37:35We'll just see about that.
37:36All right, gentlemen, start your engines.
37:39All right, gentlemen, start your engines.
37:42All right, racing fans.
37:50This is your announcer and sheriff, Russ O.P. Coltrane, bringing you the annual Hazard County
37:56Road Race Championship.
37:58Now, listen, this is brought to you absolutely free by HBC.
38:02That's called Broadcasting Company.
38:05Daisy Duke will now start the race.
38:09Ready?
38:10Yep.
38:10Let's go.
38:13Hit it.
38:22All right, we're off, racing fans.
38:25Yeah, we sure are.
38:26All right, start with the commercial, will you?
38:28All right, racing fans.
38:30Now, this program is being brought to you completely free by Hong's Friendly Fertilizing Company.
38:36It's the friendly fertilizer.
38:37Remember, it grows on you.
38:39Now, back to the race.
38:41Yeah, some race.
38:42Oh, my goodness.
38:43Number 11 is in the lead, followed by number 7.
38:46And then number 1, which is in the lead, followed by 66.
38:51And then, of course, there's 13 hogs-held cab, which is bringing up the rear.
38:56Yeah, but not for long.
38:57Not for long.
38:58Them dukes could be off in the storm here.
39:04Out of my way!
39:05You lose it!
39:06Yeah.
39:11Now, 66 is old Si Morty.
39:13That's the very moment he gave up racing.
39:18Man, that's one!
39:20Oh, racing fans, number 66 just crashed.
39:29Get him, General.
39:39Get him, General.
39:42Hang on.
39:46I guess I took care of them.
39:49Good news, good news!
39:52Number 7 and number 1, General Lee, is now out of the race!
39:55Well, that tears it.
40:08Looks like some kind of road race going on.
40:10You're right.
40:11This must have been where them cousins were headed.
40:14There they are!
40:16Ain't getting away this time.
40:26All right, cousin, pull over here, Dad!
40:29Look, this just ain't our day.
40:31All right, you got us.
40:33We'll pull right over here.
40:35Get it.
40:36Let's go!
40:49In for tires, son.
40:50We got to stop.
40:51Listen, you want marksmanship called Robin Hood, all right?
40:56Look at that, Jenny.
40:57A bow and arrow.
40:58They've got to be kidding.
41:01Let's go!
41:02Hang on.
41:02Hey, hang on.
41:13All right!
41:19You okay?
41:21Well, looks like they're okay.
41:23Ah!
41:24Woo!
41:26Nice shooting, Robin.
41:29I'll tell you what, you just get after that Hellcat, okay?
41:31All right.
41:38All right.
41:51He does it!
41:52Hallelujah!
41:53Goody, goody.
41:54Oh, nobody can stop me now, Roscoe.
41:57Nobody?
41:57Including that dude.
41:59Yeah, Red 10,000 looks as good as mine.
42:01Not to mention the dude for them.
42:10Come on, Roscoe.
42:11What's going on?
42:13What's going on with Bo and Liz?
42:15Well, folks, the race is about over.
42:17And Hogs Hellcat is number one.
42:19Oh, yeah!
42:20And there ain't nobody else in sight.
42:24And speaking of sights, just wait till you folks cast your beady blues on the colorful new sack of Hogs
42:30Happy Fertilizer.
42:45Hey, look at this.
42:48It's a bag of gold, I suppose.
42:49Must have been stuck up there underneath the dashboard.
42:52Hey, you know something?
42:54Listen, I bet that's what them two is after.
42:56You got that right.
42:57Listen, we'll get into that later.
42:58Right now, we got a race to win.
43:00Look at that, Roscoe.
43:02The coast is clear.
43:03It's clear.
43:05There's Boss up ahead.
43:06And he's almost at the finish line, too.
43:08Come on, General.
43:08We got to give it everything we got.
43:10Don't fail us now.
43:14Time for a little victory snap.
43:16Oh, yeah.
43:18Could I have a little chunk?
43:20Well, all right.
43:21And I already gave it.
43:22Just one little bite.
43:23Oh, good.
43:25I got an idea.
43:27Think you can pull off that jumping trick again?
43:31Yeah.
43:32With my eyes closed.
43:33Better rip.
43:43Yeah.
44:18All right, all right.
44:21And so the race had a happy ending.
44:24The Dukes won the $10,000 prize and caught up a little on their debts,
44:28was able to buy a new well pump, and even give part of it to charity.
44:32The road company, Bonnie and Clyde, was apprehended
44:34and confessed to stashing the gold dust behind the General's instrument panel.
44:38So that mystery was solved.
44:40And last but not least, the icing on the cake,
44:44as Boss and Roscoe paid off their race debt.
44:46You know, I think old Boss is beginning to put on a little bit of weight.
44:50Well, I'll never forget that day as long as I live.
44:52At the rate you're going, that's going to be a long time.
44:56See y'all later.
44:58All right.
45:20You know something?
45:21What's that?
45:22If they went away, I think I'd miss them.
45:25He may drive better, but he ain't no smarter.
45:29And that, friends, is how General Lee came to live permanent with the Dukes.
45:33And Hazard County ain't been the same since.
45:39Yes, sir.
45:45Yes, sir.
46:01Oh, yeah, yeah, dude.
