Plot Summary
Hazzard has suffered a number of truck hijackings, so Bo and Luke fit nitrous oxide to Cletus's patrol car to help him catch those responsible. Even with the state police combing the county, Boss Hogg still hands over $10,000 cash for $100,000 worth of stolen TVs. Just to confuse things further, one of the hijacked truckers claims that he was stopped by a Hazzard sheriff.
As Rosco was with Boss all morning, suspicion falls on Cletus, with Bo and Luke as his accomplices. All three make a run for it and, once free of Rosco, make plans to catch the real hijackers. After breaking into the Sheriff's office they find that all the hijacked shipments originated in the same place, so Bo and Luke dig out their smart clothes from High Octane and head for the shipping terminals of Colonial City.
With a little help from Daisy, Bo and Luke get on board a couple of trucks in case they're hijacked. When Luke's truck does get hijacked, he ends up at the hijackers' warehouse and the scene is set for a dirt bike chase finale.
