Enos Strate to the Top....season 3
Deputy Enos Strate has been applying to big city police departments because that has been a secret dream of his and also because he is tired of Boss's dirty tricks. On their annual trip to Atlanta Daisy takes Jesse's picture in front of the Atlanta National bank and (by Duke luck) happens to get bank robbers in the picture. The bad guys follow them to Hazzard in an attempt to get the camera and film. They come to the farm at night but get caught but shoot out tires on all 3 Duke vehicles. Boss fires Enos and hires Cletus. Rosco isn't too happy and even offers to give up part of his pay to keep Enos. The bank robbers kidnap Daisy but don't give her back when the Duke boys deliver the recently developed pictures. Eventually the bad guys get caught and Enos gets a job with the Los Angeles police department, and a big hug from Rosco. At the airport Daisy asks him if he's nervous about flying and he says "I've never flown anything....except a car"
