Plot Summary

Painting of Hazzard Pond

Hazzard artist Artie Bender offers Boss some of his paintings in lieu of a mortgage payment, but Boss decides that he could make more money from the paintings if everyone thought that Artie was dead, so he quickly arranges a phony funeral and art sale. That doesn't help Bo and Luke, because they've been arrested by Sheriff Little for an armored car robbery, and Artie's the only person who saw the real robbers.

Trivia

• Many of the paintings in this episode were actually painted by James Best.
• Charles Cyphers (Phil) previously appeared as Bumper in Limo One is Missing.
• James Cavan (Artie Bender) appeared uncredited as Clem Boswell in Enos's Last Chance.

Bloopers

• Cooter fixes damage to the left rear of the bad guys' car and Luke claims that they wrecked up on the left, but no one touched that corner in the crash. The majority of the crash damage was to the opposite corner at the front, which is miraculously mended when they leave Cooter's.

Quotes

• Rosco gets annoyed with Boss:
  Rosco: "You know, one day, I'm gonna, I mean, I'm gonna, I mean, I'm gonna..."
  Boss: "You're gonna what?"
  Rosco: "I don't know. This is not my day."
