Plot Summary

Daisy as Vivian

A private investigator named Harry Bobo comes to Hazzard looking for the missing granddaughter of his wealthy client. The girl was last seen aged just five years old when a plane crash killed her parents, but her mother's portrait looks just like Daisy. Spotting a chance to make some easy money by claiming the reward, Boss gets Daisy hypnotized to believe that she's the missing heiress, Vivian Stewart. The rest of the Dukes are concerned by Daisy's strange behavior, and follow her to the Stewart residence. That proves to be lucky for Daisy, because Vivian's cousin Alan Fairchild and his wife Vonnie plan to get rid of Vivian so that they can inherit Carter Stewart's fortune.
