Plot Summary

Rosco's rhinestone suit

Rosco's Rolls Royce patrol car

Rosco inherits $10 million from his Great Uncle Hosiah, and after splashing out on some caviar, he hires Atlanta private investigator Jason Steele to capture Bo and Luke.

Trivia

• William Smith (Jason Steele) played Clint Eastwood's opponent, Jack Wilson, in Any Which Way You Can.
• Terry Wilson also appeared very briefly as Norman Scroggs in Mrs. Daisy Hogg, but his part was uncredited, and Luke called him "Scoop". Terry spent most of his career acting in Westerns. This episode is his last credited appearance.
• Alan Autry (Dawson) returned as Hurley in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke.

Bloopers

• When Jason Steele's car first hits the General, it's light contact at the rear, but the next shot from the front shows heavy damage all along the side of the General. For the rest of the chase, the damage disappears.
• As Jason Steele is leading Bo and Luke towards Sheriff Little and breaking their probation, Waylon says "Being chased by a bounty man don't come close to being permission." Bo and Luke are chasing the "bounty man", not the other way around.
• Jason Steele doesn't even use gloves when he plants the gun in the General's glovebox.
• When the Dukes jump Reynolds' car to stop him and check on Rosco's inheritance, there's a camera visible on the side of his car.
