06x20 - The Ransom of Hazzard County
Posted: 08/30/22 10:45
Yee-haw!
I'm fixing to give
y'all some elements
to make up a pretty
good Dukes yarn.
Come on, fellas. We promised
Uncle Jesse we'd be home by .
But first, you take
the Hazzard Dam..
Which has been the
Dukes' fishing hole
for about four generations now.
We got enough for
dinner. So come on, Bo.
It ain't enough for me.
Henry, I'll be back to
get you some other time.
The Dukes was fishing.
Now, y'all got that, ain't you?
Now, about this time,
Enos' car had give up
when the fuel pump decided
to take an early retirement.
At which time, Boss Hogg was
on a personal inspection tour
to figure out another
way to milk the county.
And that's how
things got started.
Never mind. Dang, dang it.
- Hey, Enos.
- Hey, Bo.
Enos.
I tell you, Boss, isn't that
phony school crossing..
'Isn't that clever?
Or is it clever?'
Well, we'll find out soon enough
when someone
comes along, won't we?
And it better work.
'Cause like I tell you, the
cash flow from all my scams
has slowed down to
an itty-bitty little drip.
- 'Oh, look at that.'
- 'Oh, there's a victim.'
I don't remember seeing that
school crossing sign yesterday.
There ain't no school
anywheres around here.
Oh, great. There's
your answer, right there.
Rosco's been out fishing too.
- It's Duke fishing.
- That's right.
It's another one of
his phony speed traps.
That ain't fair.
We ain't got time to stop now,
Uncle Jesse's waiting on us.
I know it, we're going.
Press that peddle.
Go on after him.
I got that pedal to the metal.
- 'Come on, Bo.'
- What am I supposed to do?
There ain't room
but for one car.
- 'I can't do nothin'.'
- 'Oh, here he comes.'
- Cut him off! Cut him off!
- I got him. I got him.
- Alright.
- Alright.
- 'You got 'em.'
- I got 'em.
- 'You got them.'
- What are you doing, Rosco?
Alright, you Dukes, I
caught you this time.
I got you cold turkey going
through that school crossing.
That's gonna cost
you a simoleons.
- 'And I got a witness.'
- Yeah, I'm the witness.
And I seen everything
plain as day.
Excuse me, sheriff.
But that ain't right.
- Enos! What in the...
- Enos.
Well, that's definitely not
a legal school crossing, sir.
So if you're writing them
a ticket, that's cheating, sir.
You heard the deputy.
We got us a witness too.
Yep, and all the
people in Hazzard
take his word
against yours, Boss.
So I guess, it's
time to say, farewell.
- Bye.
- Well, nice try, Rosco.
Rosco. Come on,
give them a ticket.
I can't give them a ticket.
Enos! How dare you?
- Enos, I'm warning you.
- Enos. One day...
Enos! That's it!
'That's it. This is
absolutely the last straw!'
Look what I did.
Oh, and that's your
last box of cigars.
- My cigars.
- Oh.
Well, you know
it's all Enos' fault.
'Oh, it surely is.'
I mean, do you realize how much
that goody two-shoes
deputy, Enos
has cost us all these years?
Well, it must've been a fortune.
Listen, suppose we just get
rid of Enos once and for all
and hire us a deputy...
who thinks like you and me.
Oh, that's marvy.
If we pick out a real
tough cookie for the job
he might just catch them
pesky Duke boys as well.
'Yeah, yeah, well, of
course there could be a flaw'
'in the slaw there.'
- What's that?
- Well, it's the town folks.
Never mind about them.
Listen, I can't get this...
Let me do it. Don't worry.
Listen, I got them town
folks all figured out.
Because I ain't
gonna kick Enos out.
- Oh.
- I'm gonna kick him up.
- Yeah.
- Gonna kick him up.
- Yeah, I'm gonna promote him.
- Oh, that's marvy.
How nice of you.
Uh-oh.
Boss, I got good
news and bad news.
- Wh-what's the bad news?
- Your hat's on fire.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Well, what's the good news?
- Well.
I think... it's out.
- Can't you do nothing right?
- I'm sorry..
Meanwhile, the Dukes
finally raised Cooter
and his tow truck on their CB.
And Enos switched rides.
I been over to Allabee's,
eating me some meat loaves.
Bye-bye.
During all this, Boss
went to his little black book
and pulled out the name
of some out-of-town trash
he'd used in some
of his dirtier deals.
You heard right, Billie
Joe, I'm offering you the job
of deputy sheriff
of Hazzard County.
And this ain't
some kind of joke?
'I never joke when
money's involved.'
Now, you gotta understand
me being shook up, Boss.
I done a lot of jobs
for you, but never
on the side of the law.
Let me tell you somethin'.
This'll be the best scam yet.
I guarantee, you're gonna get
a very nice piece of the action.
So, what do you say?
Deputy Coogan.
It sounds strange,
but, uh, I'll take it.
Oh, good, good. Good, I'm
glad to hear that. Now, listen.
You just report to me here in
Hazzard County on the double.
I'm on my way. See
you soon, commissioner.
Eddie, that is the break
we've been waiting for.
How about that?
We've been looking
high or low for a big hit.
It's been handed to
us on a silver platter.
With me on the inside
and you on the outside..
We can rip off them
yokels in Hazzard
and really make a big killin'.
- I done it!
- Oh-h!
- I pulled a double whammy.
- Oh, yeah, double.
Don't do that.
I got me a new deputy who's
gonna take care of them Dukes.
Plus, at the same time,
help make us a fortune.
Oh, make us a fortune,
I love that. I love it.
- Look at this.
- What's that?
According to my secret ledger..
There it is. I got $ , .
put away in money I've skimmed
from the county over
the past few years.
Oh, shame, shame.
Everybody knows your name.
And with all my scams
going full blast again..
That figure's gonna
climb, climb, climb.
I know!
- There's Enos, though.
- Uh?
You haven't told me, what you're
gonna uphim to, to get him out.
Oh, no, yeah, well..
Wait and see,
Rosco, wait and see.
Wait and see.
There. Come on,
come on, let's go.
I wanna get my hat cleaned.
Well, yeah. Well,
that is a mess, isn't it?
'How faithfully
he maintains law'
and order here in
Hazzard County.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
And so, Enos Strate...
uh, to reward you
for all your magnificent work..
I'm proud and pleased as punch
to announce that I
am promoting you.
- Promoting me?
- Isn't that wonderful?
- Yeah, that's great.
- Alright!
Right, I am promoting
you to commissioner...
Possum on a gum bush.
Me, police commissioner?
Oh, no, no. Not
police commissioner.
No, that's my job.
I've got a long,
long time to run.
No, no. I-I'm saying that
you're gonna be commissioner
of... records.
'That's it. Commissioner
of records.'
'Uh, but listen,
you're just gonna'
have to hand in your
g*n and your badge.
Because from now on,
you're gonna be a civilian.
- A civilian?
- There's the catch.
Please, don't promote
me. Let me stay as deputy.
That's all I ever
live and work for.
Why don't you just leave him
where he's, let him stay deputy.
Yeah, what kind of
deal is this, Boss?
Enos is the only decent
lawman we ever had in this town.
Hazzard needs him.
Uh, now that Enos
is going up, up, up..
It's time to introduce you
to his new replacement.
Come in, Deputy Coogan!
Reporting for
duty, commissioner.
Yeah. At ease.
Folks, let me introduce
you to Billie Joe Coogan..
Deputy Sheriff of
Hazzard County.
You didn't waste any time
replacing Enos, did you, Boss?
'Where'd you from
anyway, fella?'
Wait a minute, Deputy
Coogan is from Cedar City
and he's very, very experienced.
I interviewed hundreds of
applicants for this here job.
'And as police commissioner,
I can assure everybody here'
that he is the most
highly qualified. So there.
Alright, give him your..
Go on, go on, give him your g*n.
That's it, and the badge too.
There you go. Give them up.
- There you are, Cooligan.
- Alright, that's the idea.
And now, folks,
if you'll excuse me
uh, me and my lawmen,
we got important work to do.
Enos, I'll see you in my office
in town, in one hour, you hear?
- If not sooner.
- Alright. Ten-hut. Forward!
Looks to me like our
buddy Enos got railroaded.
Yeah, I don't know what's going
on but now he needs cheering up.
Yeah. Hey, Enos. Hey,
congratulations, buddy.
- Congratulations.
- Yes.
It's dark in here. Go on in.
- Go on, now.
- Get down them steps.
- What the...
- Did you just...
- Where's the light switch?
- It's over there.
I can't find it. Here it is.
- Enos, go ahead.
- There we are.
- Yeah.
- Come on, come on.
- I hate a coward.
- Spider webs here, Mr. Hogg.
- Don't worry about them.
- All sorts of creepies here.
This is gonna be your
office, commissioner.
Like I told you, here
are all them records.
- Yeah.
- All years worth.
You're gonna be
busy, busy, busy.
- Sit down.
- This place gives me the..
Look at that.
- Sheriff.
- This stuff's stuck, ain't it?
- Sheriff, this...
- 'Watch that, will you?'
Watch that, will you?
- Get me out of here!
- 'Get him out.'
Get me out of here, will you?
Give me your hand.
Get me out of here.
- Wait.
- For goodness sakes, Rosco.
- Wait a minute.
- Get me out.
- Enos.
- Mr. Hogg, I'm sorry.
While Boss was showing Enos
through the records downstairs
upstairs, old Billie Joe,
who was naturally nosey..
Had found Boss' secret ledger.
Of course, the bigger secret
was that Billie Joe could read.
I want you working down
here... from to , you hear?
I don't want you
showing your face outside.
We'll send you lunch.
- Come on, Rosco.
- Where?
Get us out of here.
You know, you nearly got filed.
Commissioner. You start
filing, you hear? File, file. Yeah.
'Alright, come on, Rosco.'
Alright, alright, that takes
care of good old Enos, don't it?
- That takes care of him.
- Thank goodness.
Now we can get all our
scams heated up real good.
You know, them
floating crap games
them rigged parking
meters, phony speed traps..
The moonshining, the
bookmaking, the works!
You sure got it
figured out, Boss.
Yeah. The only thing that can
mess us up are those Duke boys.
- That's right.
- So listen, Cooligan.
- I want you to...
- No, "Coogan."
Whatever. Keep your eyes peeled.
Don't worry. I ain't gonna let
nothing mess up this sweet deal.
- I'll take care of them Dukes.
- Yeah, you do that.
Now, nothing could
stand in our way.
- Nothing.
- We're gonna go Hogg wild!
'You see Enos' face when we
dropped him off to his new job?'
Like he's being led
to his own hanging.
We gotta get him his badge back.
I know it.
Being deputy is
his whole dang life.
'That Coogan fellow
just don't sit right with me.'
Speak of the devil, there he is.
He sure don't waste
no time, does he?
What?
He's using the a*tillery.
Coogan, what the
heck are.. Luke.
A tree in the road up front.
And a rat sh**ting from behind.
Now, won't that
churn your breakfast?
Okay, you Dukes. Get out
of that car and spread 'em.
Now, hang on a second.
Yeah, you ain't got no
call to go sh**ting at us.
This badge gives
me all the call I need.
'Now, spread. You're
both under arrest.'
What for?
You ain't gonna start with that
phony traffic-citation routine.
'Oh, you fellas are in
a lot deeper than that.'
Not only was you speeding..
I'm charging you
with evading arrest.
Now, up against your car..
Before I spread you myself..
All over this landscape.
Cool it!
You boys ain't dealing with
Enos now, or that boob sheriff.
You. On the hood of the car.
You better follow orders..
Or you might not just make it.
Mr. Tough Guy, huh?
Where'd Boss and Rosco find you?
Yeah, never mind.
That's tight enough.
You boys got another
charge against you.
- Attacking a police officer.
- Oh, come on.
Now, I'm gonna throw
you both in the jug..
And I'm impounding your car.
Oh, now, you
can't do that to us.
Oh, no? Watch me.
Move it.
Well, ain't Billie Joe
bad boy, bad news?
The first day, and he's got the
boys and the General locked up.
And it ain't even lunchtime yet.
J.D., you're really
getting me riled.
All you're doing is
hounding the boys, Boss.
Listen, I keep
telling you, Jesse.
If you want them two
troublemakers of yours
out of jail, $ is
what it's gonna cost you.
Uncle Jesse, don't pay it. It...
It's gonna take all
my seed-corn money
but I can't let you boys sit in
there when you're not guilty.
'Alright, Coogan, let 'em out.'
Yeah, unstuff 'em.
We gotta go to the impound
yard and get the General out.
- Come on.
- Oh, no, you ain't doing that!
No, siree, Bob, that
General stays under lock
and key as evidence until
your court hearing next week.
- You can't keep that car.
- No, that ain't legal.
Yeah, I decide what's
legal around here.
- That's right.
- Now, listen, you just scoot.
Before I change my
mind about lettin' you go.
- We ain't got no seed-corn.
- I'll deal with you boys again.
- 'I'll get you back here.'
- Boys...
The way to handle this
now is just to walk away.
Move it. The lot of you.
- Oh.
- Listen, you!
You put a hand
on that girl again
I'm gonna stuff
you right through...
- Uncle Jesse.
- I want you Dukes out of here.
If I see you here, I'll lock you
up and throw away the keys!
Yeah, you do that.
Oh, my, oh, my.
Such temper, that whole family.
That Jesse will..
- Well, the coast is clear.
- It's clear.
Now, let's get cracking.
Rosco, you get on
the phone and see
about my floating
crap game, you know.
Coogan, come on,
we'll go check out
the deliveries of my moonshine.
Then after that, you can get
out and start giving out citations.
Well, Flash, Daddy's
gonna be rich.
What do you think of that?
Deputy or no deputy,
that Coogan fella and I
we're gonna have it out one day.
Probably gonna
be right out here...
Just take it easy,
Bo, we'll get rid of him.
- But we're gonna do it legal.
- 'Hey, y'all.'
Hey, I was coming to spring you.
Listen, things are
happening fast.
Boss has got his floating
crap game floating again.
He's got his bookie
joint operating
and that old still of his is
running shine like water.
It's clear why Boss got rid
of Enos and hired Coogan.
Yeah, so he could run
this county wide open again.
Wide open for Boss.
The people ain't
gonna sit still for that.
That's right. We
can't let him get away.
The only way I can see is
to pin something on Coogan.
Then we get Enos back as
deputy and things go back to normal.
As normal as they ever are.
M-Maybe we'll get
our bail money back.
Maybe we can get
the General back too.
I hate to ask but could
we borrow the pickup?
If we tail Coogan
maybe we'll catch him
with his hand in the cookie jar.
- But... keys are in it.
- Thanks a lot!
Listen, you boys, if, uh..
If they weld them
doors shut, or..
Maybe I can find out
something over in Cedar City.
- Can I use your phone?
- Yes, sir.
Maybe they got something
on this Coogan over there.
You know what we ought to do?
Is form a committee to
get Enos back his job.
Great minds work alike.
- Let's do it.
- Okay.
Now, this is gonna put
some thick in the buttermilk.
That's Billie Joe's partner.
And his bad takes up where
old Billie Joe's leaves off.
Won't that throw
your hat in the creek?
'Why would that
guy take off like that'
'in front of a Smokey?'
Well, this is Hazzard
County, ain't it?
It is strange, though.
Okay, buddy, what do
you think you're doing?
I'm sorry, officer, this
accelerator got stuck.
That's what they all say.
Let's have your license
and none of your lip.
- I got your call. What's doing?
- I hit something big.
I got a look at Boss
Hogg's secret ledger.
He skimmed over
grand in county funds
and stashed it in
a hidden account.
You figured out a way we're
gonna pry it loose from him?
Not yet. Hogg's a
sticky-fingered as they come.
Think we can pull
some kind of con game?
No, he wrote the book.
Maybe we can scare
it out of him somehow.
How about a b*mb threat?
We used that one once.
Yeah. I can write a ransom
note demanding that grand..
Or we'll wreck this town.
And you... you can
blow up something.
Give them a little example.
Great.
I'll run over to
Greenville, see if I can
pick up some, uh,
dynamite and stuff.
He's taking a long time to give
that fellow a ticket, ain't it?
You got that right.
And don't let me catch
you speeding again.
Ma'am? Excuse me.
By the vehicle. I'm gonna
have to cite you for jaywalking.
It's alright, honey.
Just come on over here.
Get out of the street.
That Coogan fella sure
has one busy pen, Luke.
Bo, I get the distinct feeling
that Coogan and that guy
in the green car
know each other.
You reckon they're
cooking something up?
Let's tail him, see
where he's headed.
Remember, this
ain't the General Lee.
He's taking the
road to Greenville.
We're never gonna
catch up in this thing.
I got it to the floor now.
Come on.
- 'Bo, look out.'
- sh**t.
Oh, sh**t. Uncle Jesse ain't
gonna be too happy with me.
The point is, we cannot tail
Coogan without the General Lee.
Yeah, I guess we
only got one choice.
We'll have to break him
out of that impound yard.
That won't be too easy.
Clyde's the best guard,
Boss ever hired over there.
Yeah, but Clyde is as
hung up on Daisy as Enos is.
- Hey, yeah, you're right.
- Let's give her a call.
And while Daisy decoys Clyde..
Then me and Bo can slip
over the fence, see, and..
We'll figure some way to
bust the General outta there.
While you're doing
that, I'll run out
and haul in Uncle
Jesse's pickup.
Sounds good.
I'm gonna stick around here
and wait for that phone
call from Cedar City.
They'll get back to me
on Billie Joe Coogan.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna
have some fun. Clyde's cute.
Well, let's get going. The
General and Clyde are waiting.
- Okay.
- Clyde's real cute.
- He is.
- 'So are you.'
Meantime, Boss was
out collecting his cut
of Hazzard's oldest
floating crap game..
Which he started when
he was in high school.
You see, Hazzard does
have some tradition.
Well, I'd much rather count
the moolah and let you drive.
And back in town,
Coogan's partner
had returned from Greenville.
And was busy planting dynamite
that he was gonna
set off as a warning.
And to get their attention,
he picked Rosco's car.
Sheriff's office,
Deputy Coogan, talking.
Our little bundle's
been planted.
Okay. Stand by.
Now, you know that
B.J. ain't too smart.
Why, there's a witness
sitting right there.
Shut up, mutt!
'Okay.'
- 'Good luck, huh?'
- Yeah. Thanks a lot.
'Hey, Clyde.'
- Hey, Daisy.
- Hey.
- Got a problem?
- I sure do.
Sounds like I got a clogged
fuel pump or something.
- Sounds like something wrong.
- 'Clyde, I'm late for work.'
'Could you take a look for me?'
Take a look.
Look at it. Yes, sir.
Thank you.
- What's that?
- What's what?
Oh, I just kicked a
little pebble with my foot.
It must have been
what you heard.
Yeah.
- Uh.
- Maybe it's the carburetor.
Carburetor.
How the heck we gonna
get him out of here?
'There's our escape
route right there.'
- 'Do you mean up and over?'
- 'You bet.'
'I tell you what,
it's your lucky day.'
- 'You get to drive.'
- Thanks a lot, I think.
Wait, it's your dang cousins!
- Hang on.
- Right.
You reckon, them Dukes ever
tried anything the easy way?
Yee-yaw!
Dang!
Alright. Nice
going, General Lee.
Come back.
Hey, Clyde, Dixie's running
just fine now, thank you.
Daisy, you was fibbing!
There wasn't nothing
wrong with your Jeep!
No.
Sure is nice to have the
team back together again.
Let's get back to the
business of finding Coogan.
Yeah, and getting
Enos' job back.
Now, we've already figured
out that Boss fired Enos
so he could have Coogan
come in help him with his rackets.
But what we gotta get
some concrete evidence.
We figured that's gonna be
right in Boss Hogg's office.
To give you a reason
to get into the office
we figured, you could
take Enos some lunch
and give us a high
sign when it's clear.
Good idea. I'm on my
way to the coffee shop.
- Let's do it.
- Thanks a lot.
Let's head over to the park.
Boss and Rosco was returning
from making the rounds of all
of their illegal operations,
to find out the bad news
from the guard at
the impound yard.
- Oh, no!
- What?
Oh, you numbskull, you
let the Dukes snooker you.
Listen, we don't get that
car back, it's your job.
Don't worry, Boss,
I'll round 'em up
and toss them back in the jug.
And there they're gonna
stay, bail or no bail.
Come on, Rosco,
we got work to do.
Don't growl at him,
he's on our side.
Close the door, will you?'
I'm gonna stash the cash I
just collected, here in the safe.
That's a good idea.
But don't you listen
to these little clicks.
Oh, good grief, Boss.
I want you to get on
the phone and find...
What?
Get on the phone with the still.
Find out how much cash
flow is doing on all the shines.
And then, I want you
to call the bookie...
Here's a note for you.
- Yeah? Good, read it.
- Alright.
"We want that $ , of
the county funds you're holding
or we'll blow up the town."
- What?
- Wait a minute.
"Get the cash ready
and wait for our call.
Signed, The Doomsday g*ng."
Doomsday g*ng? Blow up the town?
Anything wrong, sir?
Don't come in
here and sneak up...
Scared the life out of
me without knocking.
Yeah, something's wrong.
- Read this.
- Yeah.
'Hey, Luke, he's right there.'
Ain't that, that fella
we were tailing?
That's him, alright.
He's back in town.
Back in Boss' office,
things was heating up.
Listen, they're gonna blow
up Hazzard and probably Flash.
- Yeah, but...
- Let's use the county funds.
That's $ , in county
money and it's my money.
That's because you
skimmed it off the county.
Yeah, well, never
mind about that.
Listen, who are these
out-of-towners, anyway?
'I mean, trying
to muscle in here.'
How did they find out how
much cash I got stashed?
That's what I want to know.
This note sound like
they mean business, Boss.
My advice is to pay.
No way, no pay.
Now you're being a fathead,
listen, I'm not gonna stand
'for you blowing up Flash
and Lulu and me and Hazzard.'
I'd sure like to know
who he's talking to.
- J.D. Hogg here.
- Say, hello from Rosco.
Make it snappy, because I...
- It's them.
- Who?
- The Doomsday g*ng.
- 'Don't say hello from Rosco.'
- Did you get our note, Hogg?
- Yeah, yeah. Sure, I got it.
Listen, let me tell
you something.
You got your nerve
threatening me.
Don't make 'em mad.
Oh, we ain't threatening,
Hogg, we mean it.
You don't come up
with that money, that'll be
the end of Hazzard.
What if I said, I
didn't believe you?
I think you're bluffin'.
Oh, yeah?
Look out your window.
- Says look out the window.
- Look out the window.
Holy smoke!
The old patrol car,
blew it up to smithereens.
The Doomsday g*ng,
fella on the phone.
They really reached out
and touched someone.
Hello?
- Hello, are you there?
- What?
Oh, they hung up. Come
on, we gotta get out there.
- Listen...
- Wait a minute.
- How did this happen?
- Wait a minute.
- For goodness sakes.
- 'Wait a minute.'
'Let me out of here.
Come on, come on!'
What happened?
Look out, look out.
Did anybody see who done it?
'Oh, look at my vehicle
scuffed beyond recognition.'
I told you not to
get 'em mad, Boss.
- Get who mad?
- The Doomsday g*ng.
That's the ones. You
know what they did?
They called Boss and told him
if he didn't give them $ ,
of county money that they
were gonna blow up Hazzard.
That's enough.. Don't
babble on like that.
The Doomsday g*ng?
'They're gonna
destroy the whole town?'
Right, and this
is just a warning.
Looks at this, a detonating
device. It was a b*mb, alright.
Let me see that.
Rosco, hold it by the
wire. Hold it by the wire.
J.D., you're the one that's
been getting the phone calls
and everything.
What's this all about?
Well, there ain't much to tell.
I mean, it's just a
bunch of hoodlums
calling themselves
the Doomsday g*ng.
They send me a threatening
note then made a phone call.
When did they call?
Just before the
horrendous expl*si*n.
That guy in the car was on a car
phone just before the expl*si*n.
Yeah, he sure as
heck ain't here now.
Mr. Hogg, my advice
is for you to pay 'em off.
You can't tell what
they're gonna do next time.
Not on your life. I ain't
paying out no $ , of my..
My county's money.
Since when does Hazzard
County got a $ ,
in the treasury, Boss?
Yeah, I didn't know
we had a $ ,
in the county treasury, Boss.
'We don't, we didn't,
and we haven't.'
I don't know where them
hoodlums got that ridiculous idea.
I mean, they're not car wreckers
they're rumormongers
that's what they are.
It don't make no difference
how much money the county's got
we're not knuckling
under to these hooligans.
Wait a minute. Coogan,
you was giving that guy
in the green sedan a speeding
ticket, not long before this.
'That's right.'
You both better leave
the law enforcement to me.
'Right now, I'm
gonna arrest you'
'for breaking your car
out of that impound yard.'
Now, wait a minute. Do that
later this is an emergency.
I want you and Rosco
to scour the area.
You know, find the
Doomsday g*ng.
- Alright.
- Come on.
I'll get vehicle number two.
Well, we have had some
problems in Hazzard before
we never had no
Doomsday g*ng, y'all.
Uncle Jesse, you think
they're really gonna destroy
the whole town?
Well, they did a pretty good
job on Rosco's patrol car.
If we only knew who
the devil they was.
Listen, I'll go east, you
go west, and we'll nail 'em.
Hot pursuit. Oh, I love it!
I just know that
Coogan's involved in this.
See the way he was pushing
Boss around to pay them the money?
This whole mess started
once he got in town too.
Uncle Jesse, you haven't
heard from Cedar City, have you?
No, I ain't heard a dang
word. And I should've by now.
Listen, Cedar City
ain't that far away.
I think I'll go there
and build a fire under
that sheriff's department.
Well, I'll drive
you, Uncle Jesse.
Enos, I got a
little lunch for you.
Thank you, Daisy.
- Sure.
- Appreciate that.
- Take it easy, Enos
- Okay, Uncle Jesse.
We'll see what we can
turn up around here.
I'll go get my truck
and haul off this mess.
I sure wish, I was still deputy.
Don't worry, Enos, you will be.
Can't stand looking at
you in that suit much longer.
Thank you, Bo.
- Eat your lunch.
- Yeah.
Blowing up that
patrol car didn't work.
We gotta show these hicks
we really mean business.
How about we blow up
something bigger, like a building?
I'm through fooling around.
Especially with them
Duke boys getting nosy.
We gotta hit these
farmers where they live.
How about a grain
elevator or a cotton mill?
'Better yet, how
about Hazzard Dam?'
Dang it, they're gonna
ruin one fine fishing hole.
'Perfect. That's it.'
Them rubes don't pay us
this time, we'll flood them out.
You mean, we're
gonna blow it up?
It'll take a lot of dynamite
to blow up that baby.
'We don't have to. You see
them spillway turn valves?'
'A couple of turns
and we got us a river'
'headed right towards Hazzard.'
That's beautiful.
- Sounds good to me.
- See you all.
Clear this mess,
Cooter. Looks terrible.
I sure would like to know
how Coogan fits into all this.
Well, he didn't make
that phone call because
he's in with Sheriff
Rosco and Mr. Hogg.
He could have left
the note, though.
We gotta look around for
some clues around here.
I don't know where
we're gonna start.
I sure would like to
pin something on him.
- Look here, fellas.
- 'What you got?'
That looks like
the kind of paper
they wrap dynamite sticks in.
- Is that right?
- What?
It's a shame the name
tore off. Let's see, "Green.."
- "Greenv.."
- Wait a minute.
When we chased the green
sedan, we chased him to Greenville.
That's right and at Greenville
they've got a place called
the Greenville
Construction Company.
And they sell dynamite.
- Let's check it out.
- Alright.
- You got a dime on you?
- No, you got a dime?
- No, I've got two nickels.
- That'll do.
I'm gonna leave Hogg another
ransom note to hand over
that grand. Or else..
I turn 'em valves and..
You got that right.
Thanks a lot.
Said, we just missed him.
Couple hours ago, fella
with a green car bought
a whole bunch of dynamite.
It sounds like he's part
of the Doomsday g*ng.
'Hmm, I'll bet Coogan is too.'
Just wonderin' where
they're gonna strike next.
That's up to Luke to figure out.
And you better do it in a hurry.
'Well, there's our
ticket. Coogan himself.'
Let's go check
out that patrol car.
Come on, Enos.
Hey, Luke.
Hey, Luke, take a look.
He's marked the Hazzard dam.
'They blow that thing, every
farmer in the whole county'
'is gonna be washed right out.'
Possum on a gum
bush, we gotta stop them.
Don't panic, we don't
know nothing for sure.
'Alright, here's what we do.'
We'll go check out the dam, you
go work on your records again.
But every now and then take a
peek and keep an eye on Coogan.
- Okay, Luke.
- We'll see you later.
- Good luck to y'all.
- Thanks, Enos.
Better try and reach Uncle Jesse
see how he's been doing.
- Good idea.
- Lost Sheep to Shepherd.
'Lost Sheep to
Shepherd. Come back.'
'There they are.'
This is Shepherd
back to the Lost Sheep.
Shepherd back to the Lost Sheep.
We're on our way
back from Cedar City
and been trying to call you.
- 'Where you been?'
- Sorry about that, Uncle Jess.
We've been away from
the General for a while.
- You have any luck?
- 'Did we have luck.'
That sheriff's
department in Cedar City
really come through.
It seems that that
Billie Joe Coogan fella
he's done time for
embezzlement and ext.. Ex..
Taking money from people
that doesn't belong to him.
Well, that's the
icing on the cake.
You reckon, Boss
knew about that?
I don't know, but even
if he did, I'll bet you
that Coogan's
double-crossing him.
We better meet
and talk this over.
You got it. Uncle Jesse,
we got an earful for you too.
Where you at, what's your - ?
So the Dukes had a meeting to
figure out what was happening
and what they was
gonna do about it
and who was gonna do it and all.
Bo, Jesse and Daisy was
gonna confront Boss, and old Luke
was gonna watch the
dam, which tends to look
the same after a while.
'Bye.'
Rosco, I don't wanna
take any more chances.
I'm gonna transfer all my
skimmin'-and-scammin' money
into my bank vault
for safekeeping.
Oh, that's a brilliant idea,
that way when they blow us up
at least our money
will be safe in the bank.
Would you quit flapping your
lips and go watch the window.
I got Deputy Coogan
on the front door.
I'm gonna count and see
exactly how much I got here
after today's receipts.
Well, Flash and I will do
what we're trained to do.
I'll look and she'll sniff.
Luke was trying to
check out the dam from
the rise just above it.
'Wonder where he's at.'
He couldn't see much,
so he moved in closer.
Uh-huh.
Alright, hold it right there.
Now, don't turn around.
Yeah, Luke, that
don't always work.
'Well, you know how upset
they get when you fire 'em.'
We was right, you are one
of 'em Doomsday g*ng. Help!
Help, I got him, Mr. Hogg
Say, what's going
on out here, Enos?
He's one of the
Doomsday g*ng, sir.
He was writing another
ransom note. Coogan.
Huh, Coogan?
Okay, get them up
or this g*n goes off.
Now, wait a minute. Of
all the dirty, low-down..
Alright, Coogilan. Listen.
I'm Sheriff Rosco P.
Coltrane, and I'm ordering you
to put that g*n down.
Shut up, the lot of you.
Now, I'm through fooling around,
I want that grand right now
'or the rest of my g*ng
opens up the Hazzard Dam'
and your entire county's
under feet of water.
The dam?
That's what he said.
Well, first thing we're gonna
do, we're gonna make J.D.
fire that Coogan fella.
And then we're gonna get
Enos his deputy job back.
Right, and I'm gonna
do just what I said earlier
I'm gonna get that fella.
- Hey, I'll help you.
- Yeah, I bet you would.
It appears as if the Doomsday
g*ng has got everything
going their way.
- Alright, inside.
- Now, wait a minute.
- Inside!
- Alright, we're going!
You won't get away with this.
You double-crosser.
- Don't close that door.
- Oh, it's just habit.
Listen here. Wait
a minute, Coogan.
I didn't bring
you here for this.
- My money!
- Help!
Hey, there goes Coogan.
- He sure is leaving in a hurry.
- We better check him out.
Water Boy, Water Boy.
You out there? Come back.
Water Boy here, go ahead.
'I got the money, but I'm
being chased, so take off.'
What about the dam?
Open her up and release the
water, it'll cover our escape.
- 'And run for it. Over.'
- Over.
No.
You can't do that.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, it's Coogan
talking to his sidekick.
If they open up that
dam it'll wash out
every farm in this valley.
I know it.
Luke's gonna be up there,
let's just hope he can stop him.
Meanwhile, we're gonna
get Coogan and teach him
a thing or two. I'm
gonna enjoy this.
- Hang on.
- Catch him.
Coogan, you alright?
Alright, you want to play by
your rules, it's fine with me.
Get him, Bo.
Oh. Ah, that's the way.
- That was great.
- Thanks.
Take him and cuff
him to the door.
It'd be my pleasure.
Come on, Coogan.
Let's get going.
Yeah, I'll get the stuff.
Luke's in trouble!
'Look at all that
water pouring out.'
- I've gotta stop it.
- Go get him, Bo.
Bo, Luke, hook the
caps up. Get the valve!
Alright, now.. We was
never gonna get here.
Uncle Jesse, the
water's stopping.
Yeah.
Alright.
And so that's how the
Dukes stopped the bad guys
from flooding out Hazzard.
Help! Somebody let
us out of here. Anybody!
- I got claustrophobia.
- Bring them right up here.
Boss was so upset that his greed
had almost got Hazzard wiped out
that he had to admit that
honesty had its place at times.
And he gave Enos
his job back as deputy.
Look at that. There.
At least I can trust you.
And Uncle Jesse, after getting
back his $ bail, saw to it
that all of Boss' skimming
money went into the official
county account. It will
be used for the civic good.
Instead of lining Boss' pocket
until the next time.
This money belongs
to the county.
The county's gonna get it.
We're going over to
the bank of the county.
That's my money!
Listen, little fat buddy,
don't worry. Listen.
And it was a good thing old
Enos transferred from handling
them records 'cause
he was one slow reader.
You know, what everybody
really needs is some neighbors
like the Dukes.
That is, if your
cars can take it.
I'm fixing to give
y'all some elements
to make up a pretty
good Dukes yarn.
Come on, fellas. We promised
Uncle Jesse we'd be home by .
But first, you take
the Hazzard Dam..
Which has been the
Dukes' fishing hole
for about four generations now.
We got enough for
dinner. So come on, Bo.
It ain't enough for me.
Henry, I'll be back to
get you some other time.
The Dukes was fishing.
Now, y'all got that, ain't you?
Now, about this time,
Enos' car had give up
when the fuel pump decided
to take an early retirement.
At which time, Boss Hogg was
on a personal inspection tour
to figure out another
way to milk the county.
And that's how
things got started.
Never mind. Dang, dang it.
- Hey, Enos.
- Hey, Bo.
Enos.
I tell you, Boss, isn't that
phony school crossing..
'Isn't that clever?
Or is it clever?'
Well, we'll find out soon enough
when someone
comes along, won't we?
And it better work.
'Cause like I tell you, the
cash flow from all my scams
has slowed down to
an itty-bitty little drip.
- 'Oh, look at that.'
- 'Oh, there's a victim.'
I don't remember seeing that
school crossing sign yesterday.
There ain't no school
anywheres around here.
Oh, great. There's
your answer, right there.
Rosco's been out fishing too.
- It's Duke fishing.
- That's right.
It's another one of
his phony speed traps.
That ain't fair.
We ain't got time to stop now,
Uncle Jesse's waiting on us.
I know it, we're going.
Press that peddle.
Go on after him.
I got that pedal to the metal.
- 'Come on, Bo.'
- What am I supposed to do?
There ain't room
but for one car.
- 'I can't do nothin'.'
- 'Oh, here he comes.'
- Cut him off! Cut him off!
- I got him. I got him.
- Alright.
- Alright.
- 'You got 'em.'
- I got 'em.
- 'You got them.'
- What are you doing, Rosco?
Alright, you Dukes, I
caught you this time.
I got you cold turkey going
through that school crossing.
That's gonna cost
you a simoleons.
- 'And I got a witness.'
- Yeah, I'm the witness.
And I seen everything
plain as day.
Excuse me, sheriff.
But that ain't right.
- Enos! What in the...
- Enos.
Well, that's definitely not
a legal school crossing, sir.
So if you're writing them
a ticket, that's cheating, sir.
You heard the deputy.
We got us a witness too.
Yep, and all the
people in Hazzard
take his word
against yours, Boss.
So I guess, it's
time to say, farewell.
- Bye.
- Well, nice try, Rosco.
Rosco. Come on,
give them a ticket.
I can't give them a ticket.
Enos! How dare you?
- Enos, I'm warning you.
- Enos. One day...
Enos! That's it!
'That's it. This is
absolutely the last straw!'
Look what I did.
Oh, and that's your
last box of cigars.
- My cigars.
- Oh.
Well, you know
it's all Enos' fault.
'Oh, it surely is.'
I mean, do you realize how much
that goody two-shoes
deputy, Enos
has cost us all these years?
Well, it must've been a fortune.
Listen, suppose we just get
rid of Enos once and for all
and hire us a deputy...
who thinks like you and me.
Oh, that's marvy.
If we pick out a real
tough cookie for the job
he might just catch them
pesky Duke boys as well.
'Yeah, yeah, well, of
course there could be a flaw'
'in the slaw there.'
- What's that?
- Well, it's the town folks.
Never mind about them.
Listen, I can't get this...
Let me do it. Don't worry.
Listen, I got them town
folks all figured out.
Because I ain't
gonna kick Enos out.
- Oh.
- I'm gonna kick him up.
- Yeah.
- Gonna kick him up.
- Yeah, I'm gonna promote him.
- Oh, that's marvy.
How nice of you.
Uh-oh.
Boss, I got good
news and bad news.
- Wh-what's the bad news?
- Your hat's on fire.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Well, what's the good news?
- Well.
I think... it's out.
- Can't you do nothing right?
- I'm sorry..
Meanwhile, the Dukes
finally raised Cooter
and his tow truck on their CB.
And Enos switched rides.
I been over to Allabee's,
eating me some meat loaves.
Bye-bye.
During all this, Boss
went to his little black book
and pulled out the name
of some out-of-town trash
he'd used in some
of his dirtier deals.
You heard right, Billie
Joe, I'm offering you the job
of deputy sheriff
of Hazzard County.
And this ain't
some kind of joke?
'I never joke when
money's involved.'
Now, you gotta understand
me being shook up, Boss.
I done a lot of jobs
for you, but never
on the side of the law.
Let me tell you somethin'.
This'll be the best scam yet.
I guarantee, you're gonna get
a very nice piece of the action.
So, what do you say?
Deputy Coogan.
It sounds strange,
but, uh, I'll take it.
Oh, good, good. Good, I'm
glad to hear that. Now, listen.
You just report to me here in
Hazzard County on the double.
I'm on my way. See
you soon, commissioner.
Eddie, that is the break
we've been waiting for.
How about that?
We've been looking
high or low for a big hit.
It's been handed to
us on a silver platter.
With me on the inside
and you on the outside..
We can rip off them
yokels in Hazzard
and really make a big killin'.
- I done it!
- Oh-h!
- I pulled a double whammy.
- Oh, yeah, double.
Don't do that.
I got me a new deputy who's
gonna take care of them Dukes.
Plus, at the same time,
help make us a fortune.
Oh, make us a fortune,
I love that. I love it.
- Look at this.
- What's that?
According to my secret ledger..
There it is. I got $ , .
put away in money I've skimmed
from the county over
the past few years.
Oh, shame, shame.
Everybody knows your name.
And with all my scams
going full blast again..
That figure's gonna
climb, climb, climb.
I know!
- There's Enos, though.
- Uh?
You haven't told me, what you're
gonna uphim to, to get him out.
Oh, no, yeah, well..
Wait and see,
Rosco, wait and see.
Wait and see.
There. Come on,
come on, let's go.
I wanna get my hat cleaned.
Well, yeah. Well,
that is a mess, isn't it?
'How faithfully
he maintains law'
and order here in
Hazzard County.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
And so, Enos Strate...
uh, to reward you
for all your magnificent work..
I'm proud and pleased as punch
to announce that I
am promoting you.
- Promoting me?
- Isn't that wonderful?
- Yeah, that's great.
- Alright!
Right, I am promoting
you to commissioner...
Possum on a gum bush.
Me, police commissioner?
Oh, no, no. Not
police commissioner.
No, that's my job.
I've got a long,
long time to run.
No, no. I-I'm saying that
you're gonna be commissioner
of... records.
'That's it. Commissioner
of records.'
'Uh, but listen,
you're just gonna'
have to hand in your
g*n and your badge.
Because from now on,
you're gonna be a civilian.
- A civilian?
- There's the catch.
Please, don't promote
me. Let me stay as deputy.
That's all I ever
live and work for.
Why don't you just leave him
where he's, let him stay deputy.
Yeah, what kind of
deal is this, Boss?
Enos is the only decent
lawman we ever had in this town.
Hazzard needs him.
Uh, now that Enos
is going up, up, up..
It's time to introduce you
to his new replacement.
Come in, Deputy Coogan!
Reporting for
duty, commissioner.
Yeah. At ease.
Folks, let me introduce
you to Billie Joe Coogan..
Deputy Sheriff of
Hazzard County.
You didn't waste any time
replacing Enos, did you, Boss?
'Where'd you from
anyway, fella?'
Wait a minute, Deputy
Coogan is from Cedar City
and he's very, very experienced.
I interviewed hundreds of
applicants for this here job.
'And as police commissioner,
I can assure everybody here'
that he is the most
highly qualified. So there.
Alright, give him your..
Go on, go on, give him your g*n.
That's it, and the badge too.
There you go. Give them up.
- There you are, Cooligan.
- Alright, that's the idea.
And now, folks,
if you'll excuse me
uh, me and my lawmen,
we got important work to do.
Enos, I'll see you in my office
in town, in one hour, you hear?
- If not sooner.
- Alright. Ten-hut. Forward!
Looks to me like our
buddy Enos got railroaded.
Yeah, I don't know what's going
on but now he needs cheering up.
Yeah. Hey, Enos. Hey,
congratulations, buddy.
- Congratulations.
- Yes.
It's dark in here. Go on in.
- Go on, now.
- Get down them steps.
- What the...
- Did you just...
- Where's the light switch?
- It's over there.
I can't find it. Here it is.
- Enos, go ahead.
- There we are.
- Yeah.
- Come on, come on.
- I hate a coward.
- Spider webs here, Mr. Hogg.
- Don't worry about them.
- All sorts of creepies here.
This is gonna be your
office, commissioner.
Like I told you, here
are all them records.
- Yeah.
- All years worth.
You're gonna be
busy, busy, busy.
- Sit down.
- This place gives me the..
Look at that.
- Sheriff.
- This stuff's stuck, ain't it?
- Sheriff, this...
- 'Watch that, will you?'
Watch that, will you?
- Get me out of here!
- 'Get him out.'
Get me out of here, will you?
Give me your hand.
Get me out of here.
- Wait.
- For goodness sakes, Rosco.
- Wait a minute.
- Get me out.
- Enos.
- Mr. Hogg, I'm sorry.
While Boss was showing Enos
through the records downstairs
upstairs, old Billie Joe,
who was naturally nosey..
Had found Boss' secret ledger.
Of course, the bigger secret
was that Billie Joe could read.
I want you working down
here... from to , you hear?
I don't want you
showing your face outside.
We'll send you lunch.
- Come on, Rosco.
- Where?
Get us out of here.
You know, you nearly got filed.
Commissioner. You start
filing, you hear? File, file. Yeah.
'Alright, come on, Rosco.'
Alright, alright, that takes
care of good old Enos, don't it?
- That takes care of him.
- Thank goodness.
Now we can get all our
scams heated up real good.
You know, them
floating crap games
them rigged parking
meters, phony speed traps..
The moonshining, the
bookmaking, the works!
You sure got it
figured out, Boss.
Yeah. The only thing that can
mess us up are those Duke boys.
- That's right.
- So listen, Cooligan.
- I want you to...
- No, "Coogan."
Whatever. Keep your eyes peeled.
Don't worry. I ain't gonna let
nothing mess up this sweet deal.
- I'll take care of them Dukes.
- Yeah, you do that.
Now, nothing could
stand in our way.
- Nothing.
- We're gonna go Hogg wild!
'You see Enos' face when we
dropped him off to his new job?'
Like he's being led
to his own hanging.
We gotta get him his badge back.
I know it.
Being deputy is
his whole dang life.
'That Coogan fellow
just don't sit right with me.'
Speak of the devil, there he is.
He sure don't waste
no time, does he?
What?
He's using the a*tillery.
Coogan, what the
heck are.. Luke.
A tree in the road up front.
And a rat sh**ting from behind.
Now, won't that
churn your breakfast?
Okay, you Dukes. Get out
of that car and spread 'em.
Now, hang on a second.
Yeah, you ain't got no
call to go sh**ting at us.
This badge gives
me all the call I need.
'Now, spread. You're
both under arrest.'
What for?
You ain't gonna start with that
phony traffic-citation routine.
'Oh, you fellas are in
a lot deeper than that.'
Not only was you speeding..
I'm charging you
with evading arrest.
Now, up against your car..
Before I spread you myself..
All over this landscape.
Cool it!
You boys ain't dealing with
Enos now, or that boob sheriff.
You. On the hood of the car.
You better follow orders..
Or you might not just make it.
Mr. Tough Guy, huh?
Where'd Boss and Rosco find you?
Yeah, never mind.
That's tight enough.
You boys got another
charge against you.
- Attacking a police officer.
- Oh, come on.
Now, I'm gonna throw
you both in the jug..
And I'm impounding your car.
Oh, now, you
can't do that to us.
Oh, no? Watch me.
Move it.
Well, ain't Billie Joe
bad boy, bad news?
The first day, and he's got the
boys and the General locked up.
And it ain't even lunchtime yet.
J.D., you're really
getting me riled.
All you're doing is
hounding the boys, Boss.
Listen, I keep
telling you, Jesse.
If you want them two
troublemakers of yours
out of jail, $ is
what it's gonna cost you.
Uncle Jesse, don't pay it. It...
It's gonna take all
my seed-corn money
but I can't let you boys sit in
there when you're not guilty.
'Alright, Coogan, let 'em out.'
Yeah, unstuff 'em.
We gotta go to the impound
yard and get the General out.
- Come on.
- Oh, no, you ain't doing that!
No, siree, Bob, that
General stays under lock
and key as evidence until
your court hearing next week.
- You can't keep that car.
- No, that ain't legal.
Yeah, I decide what's
legal around here.
- That's right.
- Now, listen, you just scoot.
Before I change my
mind about lettin' you go.
- We ain't got no seed-corn.
- I'll deal with you boys again.
- 'I'll get you back here.'
- Boys...
The way to handle this
now is just to walk away.
Move it. The lot of you.
- Oh.
- Listen, you!
You put a hand
on that girl again
I'm gonna stuff
you right through...
- Uncle Jesse.
- I want you Dukes out of here.
If I see you here, I'll lock you
up and throw away the keys!
Yeah, you do that.
Oh, my, oh, my.
Such temper, that whole family.
That Jesse will..
- Well, the coast is clear.
- It's clear.
Now, let's get cracking.
Rosco, you get on
the phone and see
about my floating
crap game, you know.
Coogan, come on,
we'll go check out
the deliveries of my moonshine.
Then after that, you can get
out and start giving out citations.
Well, Flash, Daddy's
gonna be rich.
What do you think of that?
Deputy or no deputy,
that Coogan fella and I
we're gonna have it out one day.
Probably gonna
be right out here...
Just take it easy,
Bo, we'll get rid of him.
- But we're gonna do it legal.
- 'Hey, y'all.'
Hey, I was coming to spring you.
Listen, things are
happening fast.
Boss has got his floating
crap game floating again.
He's got his bookie
joint operating
and that old still of his is
running shine like water.
It's clear why Boss got rid
of Enos and hired Coogan.
Yeah, so he could run
this county wide open again.
Wide open for Boss.
The people ain't
gonna sit still for that.
That's right. We
can't let him get away.
The only way I can see is
to pin something on Coogan.
Then we get Enos back as
deputy and things go back to normal.
As normal as they ever are.
M-Maybe we'll get
our bail money back.
Maybe we can get
the General back too.
I hate to ask but could
we borrow the pickup?
If we tail Coogan
maybe we'll catch him
with his hand in the cookie jar.
- But... keys are in it.
- Thanks a lot!
Listen, you boys, if, uh..
If they weld them
doors shut, or..
Maybe I can find out
something over in Cedar City.
- Can I use your phone?
- Yes, sir.
Maybe they got something
on this Coogan over there.
You know what we ought to do?
Is form a committee to
get Enos back his job.
Great minds work alike.
- Let's do it.
- Okay.
Now, this is gonna put
some thick in the buttermilk.
That's Billie Joe's partner.
And his bad takes up where
old Billie Joe's leaves off.
Won't that throw
your hat in the creek?
'Why would that
guy take off like that'
'in front of a Smokey?'
Well, this is Hazzard
County, ain't it?
It is strange, though.
Okay, buddy, what do
you think you're doing?
I'm sorry, officer, this
accelerator got stuck.
That's what they all say.
Let's have your license
and none of your lip.
- I got your call. What's doing?
- I hit something big.
I got a look at Boss
Hogg's secret ledger.
He skimmed over
grand in county funds
and stashed it in
a hidden account.
You figured out a way we're
gonna pry it loose from him?
Not yet. Hogg's a
sticky-fingered as they come.
Think we can pull
some kind of con game?
No, he wrote the book.
Maybe we can scare
it out of him somehow.
How about a b*mb threat?
We used that one once.
Yeah. I can write a ransom
note demanding that grand..
Or we'll wreck this town.
And you... you can
blow up something.
Give them a little example.
Great.
I'll run over to
Greenville, see if I can
pick up some, uh,
dynamite and stuff.
He's taking a long time to give
that fellow a ticket, ain't it?
You got that right.
And don't let me catch
you speeding again.
Ma'am? Excuse me.
By the vehicle. I'm gonna
have to cite you for jaywalking.
It's alright, honey.
Just come on over here.
Get out of the street.
That Coogan fella sure
has one busy pen, Luke.
Bo, I get the distinct feeling
that Coogan and that guy
in the green car
know each other.
You reckon they're
cooking something up?
Let's tail him, see
where he's headed.
Remember, this
ain't the General Lee.
He's taking the
road to Greenville.
We're never gonna
catch up in this thing.
I got it to the floor now.
Come on.
- 'Bo, look out.'
- sh**t.
Oh, sh**t. Uncle Jesse ain't
gonna be too happy with me.
The point is, we cannot tail
Coogan without the General Lee.
Yeah, I guess we
only got one choice.
We'll have to break him
out of that impound yard.
That won't be too easy.
Clyde's the best guard,
Boss ever hired over there.
Yeah, but Clyde is as
hung up on Daisy as Enos is.
- Hey, yeah, you're right.
- Let's give her a call.
And while Daisy decoys Clyde..
Then me and Bo can slip
over the fence, see, and..
We'll figure some way to
bust the General outta there.
While you're doing
that, I'll run out
and haul in Uncle
Jesse's pickup.
Sounds good.
I'm gonna stick around here
and wait for that phone
call from Cedar City.
They'll get back to me
on Billie Joe Coogan.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna
have some fun. Clyde's cute.
Well, let's get going. The
General and Clyde are waiting.
- Okay.
- Clyde's real cute.
- He is.
- 'So are you.'
Meantime, Boss was
out collecting his cut
of Hazzard's oldest
floating crap game..
Which he started when
he was in high school.
You see, Hazzard does
have some tradition.
Well, I'd much rather count
the moolah and let you drive.
And back in town,
Coogan's partner
had returned from Greenville.
And was busy planting dynamite
that he was gonna
set off as a warning.
And to get their attention,
he picked Rosco's car.
Sheriff's office,
Deputy Coogan, talking.
Our little bundle's
been planted.
Okay. Stand by.
Now, you know that
B.J. ain't too smart.
Why, there's a witness
sitting right there.
Shut up, mutt!
'Okay.'
- 'Good luck, huh?'
- Yeah. Thanks a lot.
'Hey, Clyde.'
- Hey, Daisy.
- Hey.
- Got a problem?
- I sure do.
Sounds like I got a clogged
fuel pump or something.
- Sounds like something wrong.
- 'Clyde, I'm late for work.'
'Could you take a look for me?'
Take a look.
Look at it. Yes, sir.
Thank you.
- What's that?
- What's what?
Oh, I just kicked a
little pebble with my foot.
It must have been
what you heard.
Yeah.
- Uh.
- Maybe it's the carburetor.
Carburetor.
How the heck we gonna
get him out of here?
'There's our escape
route right there.'
- 'Do you mean up and over?'
- 'You bet.'
'I tell you what,
it's your lucky day.'
- 'You get to drive.'
- Thanks a lot, I think.
Wait, it's your dang cousins!
- Hang on.
- Right.
You reckon, them Dukes ever
tried anything the easy way?
Yee-yaw!
Dang!
Alright. Nice
going, General Lee.
Come back.
Hey, Clyde, Dixie's running
just fine now, thank you.
Daisy, you was fibbing!
There wasn't nothing
wrong with your Jeep!
No.
Sure is nice to have the
team back together again.
Let's get back to the
business of finding Coogan.
Yeah, and getting
Enos' job back.
Now, we've already figured
out that Boss fired Enos
so he could have Coogan
come in help him with his rackets.
But what we gotta get
some concrete evidence.
We figured that's gonna be
right in Boss Hogg's office.
To give you a reason
to get into the office
we figured, you could
take Enos some lunch
and give us a high
sign when it's clear.
Good idea. I'm on my
way to the coffee shop.
- Let's do it.
- Thanks a lot.
Let's head over to the park.
Boss and Rosco was returning
from making the rounds of all
of their illegal operations,
to find out the bad news
from the guard at
the impound yard.
- Oh, no!
- What?
Oh, you numbskull, you
let the Dukes snooker you.
Listen, we don't get that
car back, it's your job.
Don't worry, Boss,
I'll round 'em up
and toss them back in the jug.
And there they're gonna
stay, bail or no bail.
Come on, Rosco,
we got work to do.
Don't growl at him,
he's on our side.
Close the door, will you?'
I'm gonna stash the cash I
just collected, here in the safe.
That's a good idea.
But don't you listen
to these little clicks.
Oh, good grief, Boss.
I want you to get on
the phone and find...
What?
Get on the phone with the still.
Find out how much cash
flow is doing on all the shines.
And then, I want you
to call the bookie...
Here's a note for you.
- Yeah? Good, read it.
- Alright.
"We want that $ , of
the county funds you're holding
or we'll blow up the town."
- What?
- Wait a minute.
"Get the cash ready
and wait for our call.
Signed, The Doomsday g*ng."
Doomsday g*ng? Blow up the town?
Anything wrong, sir?
Don't come in
here and sneak up...
Scared the life out of
me without knocking.
Yeah, something's wrong.
- Read this.
- Yeah.
'Hey, Luke, he's right there.'
Ain't that, that fella
we were tailing?
That's him, alright.
He's back in town.
Back in Boss' office,
things was heating up.
Listen, they're gonna blow
up Hazzard and probably Flash.
- Yeah, but...
- Let's use the county funds.
That's $ , in county
money and it's my money.
That's because you
skimmed it off the county.
Yeah, well, never
mind about that.
Listen, who are these
out-of-towners, anyway?
'I mean, trying
to muscle in here.'
How did they find out how
much cash I got stashed?
That's what I want to know.
This note sound like
they mean business, Boss.
My advice is to pay.
No way, no pay.
Now you're being a fathead,
listen, I'm not gonna stand
'for you blowing up Flash
and Lulu and me and Hazzard.'
I'd sure like to know
who he's talking to.
- J.D. Hogg here.
- Say, hello from Rosco.
Make it snappy, because I...
- It's them.
- Who?
- The Doomsday g*ng.
- 'Don't say hello from Rosco.'
- Did you get our note, Hogg?
- Yeah, yeah. Sure, I got it.
Listen, let me tell
you something.
You got your nerve
threatening me.
Don't make 'em mad.
Oh, we ain't threatening,
Hogg, we mean it.
You don't come up
with that money, that'll be
the end of Hazzard.
What if I said, I
didn't believe you?
I think you're bluffin'.
Oh, yeah?
Look out your window.
- Says look out the window.
- Look out the window.
Holy smoke!
The old patrol car,
blew it up to smithereens.
The Doomsday g*ng,
fella on the phone.
They really reached out
and touched someone.
Hello?
- Hello, are you there?
- What?
Oh, they hung up. Come
on, we gotta get out there.
- Listen...
- Wait a minute.
- How did this happen?
- Wait a minute.
- For goodness sakes.
- 'Wait a minute.'
'Let me out of here.
Come on, come on!'
What happened?
Look out, look out.
Did anybody see who done it?
'Oh, look at my vehicle
scuffed beyond recognition.'
I told you not to
get 'em mad, Boss.
- Get who mad?
- The Doomsday g*ng.
That's the ones. You
know what they did?
They called Boss and told him
if he didn't give them $ ,
of county money that they
were gonna blow up Hazzard.
That's enough.. Don't
babble on like that.
The Doomsday g*ng?
'They're gonna
destroy the whole town?'
Right, and this
is just a warning.
Looks at this, a detonating
device. It was a b*mb, alright.
Let me see that.
Rosco, hold it by the
wire. Hold it by the wire.
J.D., you're the one that's
been getting the phone calls
and everything.
What's this all about?
Well, there ain't much to tell.
I mean, it's just a
bunch of hoodlums
calling themselves
the Doomsday g*ng.
They send me a threatening
note then made a phone call.
When did they call?
Just before the
horrendous expl*si*n.
That guy in the car was on a car
phone just before the expl*si*n.
Yeah, he sure as
heck ain't here now.
Mr. Hogg, my advice
is for you to pay 'em off.
You can't tell what
they're gonna do next time.
Not on your life. I ain't
paying out no $ , of my..
My county's money.
Since when does Hazzard
County got a $ ,
in the treasury, Boss?
Yeah, I didn't know
we had a $ ,
in the county treasury, Boss.
'We don't, we didn't,
and we haven't.'
I don't know where them
hoodlums got that ridiculous idea.
I mean, they're not car wreckers
they're rumormongers
that's what they are.
It don't make no difference
how much money the county's got
we're not knuckling
under to these hooligans.
Wait a minute. Coogan,
you was giving that guy
in the green sedan a speeding
ticket, not long before this.
'That's right.'
You both better leave
the law enforcement to me.
'Right now, I'm
gonna arrest you'
'for breaking your car
out of that impound yard.'
Now, wait a minute. Do that
later this is an emergency.
I want you and Rosco
to scour the area.
You know, find the
Doomsday g*ng.
- Alright.
- Come on.
I'll get vehicle number two.
Well, we have had some
problems in Hazzard before
we never had no
Doomsday g*ng, y'all.
Uncle Jesse, you think
they're really gonna destroy
the whole town?
Well, they did a pretty good
job on Rosco's patrol car.
If we only knew who
the devil they was.
Listen, I'll go east, you
go west, and we'll nail 'em.
Hot pursuit. Oh, I love it!
I just know that
Coogan's involved in this.
See the way he was pushing
Boss around to pay them the money?
This whole mess started
once he got in town too.
Uncle Jesse, you haven't
heard from Cedar City, have you?
No, I ain't heard a dang
word. And I should've by now.
Listen, Cedar City
ain't that far away.
I think I'll go there
and build a fire under
that sheriff's department.
Well, I'll drive
you, Uncle Jesse.
Enos, I got a
little lunch for you.
Thank you, Daisy.
- Sure.
- Appreciate that.
- Take it easy, Enos
- Okay, Uncle Jesse.
We'll see what we can
turn up around here.
I'll go get my truck
and haul off this mess.
I sure wish, I was still deputy.
Don't worry, Enos, you will be.
Can't stand looking at
you in that suit much longer.
Thank you, Bo.
- Eat your lunch.
- Yeah.
Blowing up that
patrol car didn't work.
We gotta show these hicks
we really mean business.
How about we blow up
something bigger, like a building?
I'm through fooling around.
Especially with them
Duke boys getting nosy.
We gotta hit these
farmers where they live.
How about a grain
elevator or a cotton mill?
'Better yet, how
about Hazzard Dam?'
Dang it, they're gonna
ruin one fine fishing hole.
'Perfect. That's it.'
Them rubes don't pay us
this time, we'll flood them out.
You mean, we're
gonna blow it up?
It'll take a lot of dynamite
to blow up that baby.
'We don't have to. You see
them spillway turn valves?'
'A couple of turns
and we got us a river'
'headed right towards Hazzard.'
That's beautiful.
- Sounds good to me.
- See you all.
Clear this mess,
Cooter. Looks terrible.
I sure would like to know
how Coogan fits into all this.
Well, he didn't make
that phone call because
he's in with Sheriff
Rosco and Mr. Hogg.
He could have left
the note, though.
We gotta look around for
some clues around here.
I don't know where
we're gonna start.
I sure would like to
pin something on him.
- Look here, fellas.
- 'What you got?'
That looks like
the kind of paper
they wrap dynamite sticks in.
- Is that right?
- What?
It's a shame the name
tore off. Let's see, "Green.."
- "Greenv.."
- Wait a minute.
When we chased the green
sedan, we chased him to Greenville.
That's right and at Greenville
they've got a place called
the Greenville
Construction Company.
And they sell dynamite.
- Let's check it out.
- Alright.
- You got a dime on you?
- No, you got a dime?
- No, I've got two nickels.
- That'll do.
I'm gonna leave Hogg another
ransom note to hand over
that grand. Or else..
I turn 'em valves and..
You got that right.
Thanks a lot.
Said, we just missed him.
Couple hours ago, fella
with a green car bought
a whole bunch of dynamite.
It sounds like he's part
of the Doomsday g*ng.
'Hmm, I'll bet Coogan is too.'
Just wonderin' where
they're gonna strike next.
That's up to Luke to figure out.
And you better do it in a hurry.
'Well, there's our
ticket. Coogan himself.'
Let's go check
out that patrol car.
Come on, Enos.
Hey, Luke.
Hey, Luke, take a look.
He's marked the Hazzard dam.
'They blow that thing, every
farmer in the whole county'
'is gonna be washed right out.'
Possum on a gum
bush, we gotta stop them.
Don't panic, we don't
know nothing for sure.
'Alright, here's what we do.'
We'll go check out the dam, you
go work on your records again.
But every now and then take a
peek and keep an eye on Coogan.
- Okay, Luke.
- We'll see you later.
- Good luck to y'all.
- Thanks, Enos.
Better try and reach Uncle Jesse
see how he's been doing.
- Good idea.
- Lost Sheep to Shepherd.
'Lost Sheep to
Shepherd. Come back.'
'There they are.'
This is Shepherd
back to the Lost Sheep.
Shepherd back to the Lost Sheep.
We're on our way
back from Cedar City
and been trying to call you.
- 'Where you been?'
- Sorry about that, Uncle Jess.
We've been away from
the General for a while.
- You have any luck?
- 'Did we have luck.'
That sheriff's
department in Cedar City
really come through.
It seems that that
Billie Joe Coogan fella
he's done time for
embezzlement and ext.. Ex..
Taking money from people
that doesn't belong to him.
Well, that's the
icing on the cake.
You reckon, Boss
knew about that?
I don't know, but even
if he did, I'll bet you
that Coogan's
double-crossing him.
We better meet
and talk this over.
You got it. Uncle Jesse,
we got an earful for you too.
Where you at, what's your - ?
So the Dukes had a meeting to
figure out what was happening
and what they was
gonna do about it
and who was gonna do it and all.
Bo, Jesse and Daisy was
gonna confront Boss, and old Luke
was gonna watch the
dam, which tends to look
the same after a while.
'Bye.'
Rosco, I don't wanna
take any more chances.
I'm gonna transfer all my
skimmin'-and-scammin' money
into my bank vault
for safekeeping.
Oh, that's a brilliant idea,
that way when they blow us up
at least our money
will be safe in the bank.
Would you quit flapping your
lips and go watch the window.
I got Deputy Coogan
on the front door.
I'm gonna count and see
exactly how much I got here
after today's receipts.
Well, Flash and I will do
what we're trained to do.
I'll look and she'll sniff.
Luke was trying to
check out the dam from
the rise just above it.
'Wonder where he's at.'
He couldn't see much,
so he moved in closer.
Uh-huh.
Alright, hold it right there.
Now, don't turn around.
Yeah, Luke, that
don't always work.
'Well, you know how upset
they get when you fire 'em.'
We was right, you are one
of 'em Doomsday g*ng. Help!
Help, I got him, Mr. Hogg
Say, what's going
on out here, Enos?
He's one of the
Doomsday g*ng, sir.
He was writing another
ransom note. Coogan.
Huh, Coogan?
Okay, get them up
or this g*n goes off.
Now, wait a minute. Of
all the dirty, low-down..
Alright, Coogilan. Listen.
I'm Sheriff Rosco P.
Coltrane, and I'm ordering you
to put that g*n down.
Shut up, the lot of you.
Now, I'm through fooling around,
I want that grand right now
'or the rest of my g*ng
opens up the Hazzard Dam'
and your entire county's
under feet of water.
The dam?
That's what he said.
Well, first thing we're gonna
do, we're gonna make J.D.
fire that Coogan fella.
And then we're gonna get
Enos his deputy job back.
Right, and I'm gonna
do just what I said earlier
I'm gonna get that fella.
- Hey, I'll help you.
- Yeah, I bet you would.
It appears as if the Doomsday
g*ng has got everything
going their way.
- Alright, inside.
- Now, wait a minute.
- Inside!
- Alright, we're going!
You won't get away with this.
You double-crosser.
- Don't close that door.
- Oh, it's just habit.
Listen here. Wait
a minute, Coogan.
I didn't bring
you here for this.
- My money!
- Help!
Hey, there goes Coogan.
- He sure is leaving in a hurry.
- We better check him out.
Water Boy, Water Boy.
You out there? Come back.
Water Boy here, go ahead.
'I got the money, but I'm
being chased, so take off.'
What about the dam?
Open her up and release the
water, it'll cover our escape.
- 'And run for it. Over.'
- Over.
No.
You can't do that.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, it's Coogan
talking to his sidekick.
If they open up that
dam it'll wash out
every farm in this valley.
I know it.
Luke's gonna be up there,
let's just hope he can stop him.
Meanwhile, we're gonna
get Coogan and teach him
a thing or two. I'm
gonna enjoy this.
- Hang on.
- Catch him.
Coogan, you alright?
Alright, you want to play by
your rules, it's fine with me.
Get him, Bo.
Oh. Ah, that's the way.
- That was great.
- Thanks.
Take him and cuff
him to the door.
It'd be my pleasure.
Come on, Coogan.
Let's get going.
Yeah, I'll get the stuff.
Luke's in trouble!
'Look at all that
water pouring out.'
- I've gotta stop it.
- Go get him, Bo.
Bo, Luke, hook the
caps up. Get the valve!
Alright, now.. We was
never gonna get here.
Uncle Jesse, the
water's stopping.
Yeah.
Alright.
And so that's how the
Dukes stopped the bad guys
from flooding out Hazzard.
Help! Somebody let
us out of here. Anybody!
- I got claustrophobia.
- Bring them right up here.
Boss was so upset that his greed
had almost got Hazzard wiped out
that he had to admit that
honesty had its place at times.
And he gave Enos
his job back as deputy.
Look at that. There.
At least I can trust you.
And Uncle Jesse, after getting
back his $ bail, saw to it
that all of Boss' skimming
money went into the official
county account. It will
be used for the civic good.
Instead of lining Boss' pocket
until the next time.
This money belongs
to the county.
The county's gonna get it.
We're going over to
the bank of the county.
That's my money!
Listen, little fat buddy,
don't worry. Listen.
And it was a good thing old
Enos transferred from handling
them records 'cause
he was one slow reader.
You know, what everybody
