Plot Summary
Nervous Norman Willis, "the boss of all bosses", is only passing through Hazzard on his way to Atlanta, but he's so paranoid that he mistakes the General backfiring for someone shooting at him, and he shoots back. By the time he reaches the town, Norman's convinced himself that he's having a heart attack, so his driver asks for help from a nurse outside the church. The nurse is actually Daisy in her costume for a church play, and when she tries to help Norman, their pocket books get swapped. Not knowing that she has Norman's racket book, Daisy sends it in her costume to the cleaners. Meanwhile, Boss thinks that Norman's in town because he's discovered that Boss was short-changing him, but he really just wants to find Daisy and his book.
Commentary
As Daisy first goes into Enos' room at the boarding house, Enos has to quickly remove all his photos of Daisy from around the mirror, which shows the kind of obsession he has with her.
Trivia
- Kaz Garas (Jake) previously appeared as Loggins in Bad Day in Hazzard.
- When Enos divides his room and Waylon says "I saw that movie too.", he's referring to the Walls of Jericho scene from the 1934 Frank Capra comedy It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.
- Enos' house is said to be on Spring Lake Drive.
- The Tri-County Steam Plant, seen at the end of the episode, is actually the former Valley Steam Plant at 11801 Sheldon St, Sun Valley, CA. It's now known as the LADWP - Valley Generating Station.
