Plot Summary

Augie Detweiller is running a smuggling operation, and Rosco's determined to catch him, as soon as he figures out what's being smuggled. He even lets the Dukes pass a roadblock so that he can stop a car carrier and search every car on it.
Bo and Luke get involved when Cooter asks them to pick up a couple of old junkers for Augie's demolition derby. Bo then impresses Augie with his driving skills against Augie's right-hand-man Shoulders in the concrete-lined slammer car (which still seems to be remarkably maneuverable). Once they gain Augie Detweiller's trust, the boys trace his operation to the old stone quarry in Stilson Canyon. Luckily, the cave has a back entrance, and after some fruitless searching of paperwork they discover Augie's secret. He's using the old clunkers to smuggle brand-new racecar engines from a recent boxcar robbery.
The boys decide to steal the car carrier so that they have some evidence for the state police. Augie and his henchmen give chase, but Jesse sees one of the cars off the road, and Luke unhitches the slammer from the carrier to sort out the other one.
