Go West, Young Dukes.......season 7
Boss just inherited half of his great granddaddy's estate, including a deed to the Duke farm dated June 13, 1872 and signed by Thaddeus Hogg and Jeremiah Duke. After going to Capitol City and confirming the deed's authenticity Boss gave the Dukes 24 hours to leave the farm. Jesse found his great great grandma Jenny's diary and drifted back in time to 1872 to Sleepy City, Hazzard's former name. After Thaddeus burned down Jeremiah and Jenny's barn, Jeremiah sent messages for help and his nephews Joe (Bo), Hank (Luke) and niece Dixie (Daisy) showed up. Joe revealed his identity but Hank and Daisy didn't. Hank pretended to be a drifter and Dixie got at job at Thaddeus's saloon. Deeter Davenport, the town blacksmith also wanted to help the Dukes. Thaddeus called in reinforcements too, Frank and Jesse James. The first thing the younger Dukes did was stop the James boys from robbing a stagecoach. The James boys found out that Hank was really a Duke and told Thaddeus and Rufus. Joe and Hank got in a bar fight with Frank and Jesse. Rufus framed and arrested Hank for horse theft but Joe got away. Jeremiah signed the farm away to get Hank out of jail but he broke out with Dixie's help before Thaddeus could get back to free him. The James boys robbed Thaddeus's safe and took him and Rufus hostage and it was hot pursuit time. Joe, Hank and Dixie caught the James gang and freed their hostages. Thaddeus was so grateful that he signed the farm back to Jeremiah and Jenny. Fade ahead to Hazzard County. The 4 Dukes and Cooter are at the farm celebrating the words in Jenny's diary. She left a clue as to the whereabouts of the revised deed and the Dukes figured out it was Boot Hill cemetery and went there and unburied it.
-- What a fun episode.....a true classic that every Duke fan cherishes.
-- My only disappointment is that Enos wasn't on it.
