Plot Summary

The Dukes spot a tour bus in Hazzard

Boss is renting the Olde Livery Stables to some Atlanta gamblers to use as a casino, but when he hears that a special investigator from the State Crime Commission is going to pay them a visit, he plants gambling equipment in the Dukes' barn. After he locks up the Dukes, Boss accidentally injects himself with sodium pentothal, and then goes around Hazzard telling everyone the truth.

Trivia

• In real life, the Olde Livery Stable was part of a set just behind Boss' house.
• Craig Littler (Lacey) played the title role in the late-70s TV series Jason of Star Command. The series also starred Charlie Dell, who played Emery Potter in three Dukes episodes, and Sid Haig who was Slocum in the previous episode.

Bloopers

• In the opening scene, Cletus stops Bo and Luke to return the General's door mirror, but the mirror is clearly visible in the long shots of the pursuit.
• Luke says "Murphy's Law. If everything's coming your way, chances are pretty good you're in the wrong lane." This is a variation on a well-known phrase, but it's not Murphy's Law, which is "If anything can go wrong, it will".

Quotes

When he's asked to "cease and desist" chasing the Dukes:
Rosco: "I'm telling you, Flash, Boss is more changeable than a stack of diapers in a nursery."
