	Enos hears that "a couple of city dudes" are looking for Boss, and since he doesn't know where Boss is hiding, he heads out to the Duke Farm to discuss it with the Dukes. Boss tells them that Enos is "a bigger blabbermouth than my wife, Lulu", so he gets Bo and Luke to drive him away. Back in town they swap the ailing General for Cooter's pickup truck. In the meantime, Rosco has adopted the role of temporary Boss, and is smoking Boss's cigars, driving his car and wearing a white suit. In fact, he's so convincing that the bad guys nearly shoot him before Bo steps in and drenches him in old motor oil.
