	Cousins Bobby Lee and Grady Hagg arrive at local bar [[The Boar's Nest\|the Boar's Nest]] pursued by the police. They're known moonshiners, and the police have spotted their car speeding and running low. However, when they open the trunk, all they find is a guitar, amplifier and bags of fertilizer. Bobby Lee explains that he'd been offered a chance to play and they were running late. While Bobby Lee is on stage, a rowdy patron insults his playing, and the ensuing fight gets him 30 days in jail.

	Back at the Hagg's home, Bobby Lee introduces Beth to his Uncle Jesse. He explains her situation, and they agree to let her stay. Beth is given a tour, which includes a still and some liquor. Jesse tells her that he won't use plastic jugs, or sell liquor which hasn't been aged for two years. He also tells Bobby Lee that another 'shiner, Jake Rainey, has got in with a syndicate up north and has all bootleggers driving for him. Later, Bobby Lee introduces Beth to Grady, and shows her their stock car, Traveler.		Back at the Hagg's home, Bobby Lee introduces Beth to his Uncle Jesse.

	Bobby Lee, Grady and Beth go to a stock car race where they meet up with fellow bootleggers Zeebo and Cooter. They also bring along a little 'shine to share around and handicap the opposition. When their race comes around, Grady spins near the end, and Zeebo wins the prize money, trophy and custom-made Justin boots. He also wins the side bet they'd made. Unhappy with the result, Bobby Lee challenges Zeebo to a race to deliver 'shine for Jake Rainey. He also suggests tipping off the sheriff to make it more interesting. Zeebo skids and loses most of his load at a road block, but escapes. Meanwhile, Bobby Lee makes it through and delivers his load to Jake at his truck stop. Paying the $150 delivery fee, Jake tries to persuade the Hagg family to join his group, but Bobby Lee declines.

	Back home, Jesse tells Bobby Lee that he knows that he was delivering for the competition. Over a game of checkers, he also argues with the preacher about the rights and wrongs of making 'shine. Bobby Lee is sent off to help Grady at the still, but he hasn't been there long when it gets raided by federal agents. The boys escape, but the agents blow up the still and confiscate the Hagg's mule. The next day, Bobby Lee's back transporting 'shine, as the family have been doing for 200 years.

	It's not hard to see the roots of the Dukes of Hazzard in this movie. A couple of bootlegging cousins living with their moonshining Uncle Jesse are a good start. Instead of a female cousin, we have a love interest for one of the male cousins. Jake Rainey is the closest character to Boss Hogg. He's a local businessman who makes 'shine, owns a bar and has the local sheriff in his pocket. He also smokes cigars and drives a big white Cadillac.		It's not hard to see the roots of the Dukes of Hazzard in this movie. A couple of bootlegging cousins living with their moonshining Uncle Jesse are a good start. Instead of a female cousin, we have a love interest for one of the male cousins. Just like the Dukes, the Hagg Boys are on probation and have to use bows instead of guns. Jake Rainey is the closest character to Boss Hogg. He's a local businessman who makes 'shine, owns a bar and has the local sheriff in his pocket. He also smokes cigars and drives a big white Cadillac.

	Some of the names will also be familiar to Dukes fans, although not all in the same places. The Boar's Nest is seen briefly at the start of the movie, but doesn't get visited again. The only character which transferred virtually unchanged was Sheriff Roscoe Coltrane. Hagg is close to Hogg, but the sides were obviously switched for Dukes. Cooter also makes an appearance, but he's Cooter Pettigrew, a fellow bootlegger. Perhaps most amusingly, the Haggs' mule is called Beauregard. Maybe that's why [[Bo Duke\|Bo]] didn't like his full name!		Some of the names will also be familiar to Dukes fans, although not all in the same places.
