When Jesse and Luke are run off the road by Dewey Hogg in an ambulance, they know that his return to Hazzard is not good news.  Dewey is Hughie's older brother, and even more crooked. His plan is to pretend that he's dying, offer a donation for a medical clinic in his name, and then get the townsfolk to match it.

After conning Boss to donate the remainder of the money, Dewey steals it from Jesse's deposit box using a duplicate key and stashes it in the box next door. Luke figures that the only way they'll see the money again is if Dewey thinks that he really is dying, so they pretend to serve him some poisoned wine.

Plot Summary

Dewey's prepared grave site

When Jesse and Luke are run off the road by Dewey Hogg in an ambulance, they know that his return to Hazzard is not good news. Dewey is Hughie's older brother, and even more crooked. His plan is to pretend that he's dying, offer a donation for a medical clinic in his name, and then get the townsfolk to match it. Although Jesse's dubious of the scheme, he agrees to look after the money in his safety deposit box at the bank. After conning Boss to donate the remainder of the money, Dewey steals it from Jesse's deposit box using a duplicate key and stashes it in the box next door. Luke figures that the only way they'll see the money again is if Dewey thinks that he really is dying, so they pretend to serve him some poisoned wine.
