Plot Summary

A trio of criminals plan to steal $1 million from an armored car by using a lookalike of Rosco. While chasing Bo and Luke, the real Rosco winds up in a lake, and by the time the boys go back to check on him, the bad guys have kidnapped him. Assuming that Rosco has drowned, the boys tell Jesse and then Boss. When the criminals hear the news, they send Woody, the fake Rosco, to town pretending to be suffering from a blow to the head. Bo and Luke are suspicious of Woody when he mixes up their names, and are taking him to be examined by Doc Appleby when they are also kidnapped. Back at the hideout, the boys find the real Rosco and set off for town in an attempt to foil the robbery.

Trivia

• James Best gets a separate credit as Woody at the end of the show.

Bloopers

• After Woody turns up at Rosco's wake, Bo and Luke say they'd be proud to accept the parking tickets from earlier that morning, but the tickets and Rosco's crash took place the day before.
