Plot Summary
When the Federal Energy Commission holds a contest to find a substitute for fossil fuels with a $20,000 1st prize, Uncle Jesse decides to help out the country by making some shine. He and the boys also meet Roxanne Huntley (since she replaced Agent Andy Roach, who moved to Atlanta) during one of their quarterly check-ins with the ATF. After talking to Boss, who thinks he's got Jesse as a partner for the contest, the Dukes head up to one of their old still sites with Cooter. Roxanne catches them there after posing in disguise as a fishing woman. Jesse and Cooter dump the shine and the Dukes make a deal with her, telling her she can stay with them at the farm while she attempts to catch them with the shine.
Commentary
Despite Roxanne being an ATF agent, Luke must trust her. He takes her gun and puts it in his belt but after she wakes up he hands it back. Oddly enough this would be a trait that would get Luke into more trouble later in the series.
Brody, the Duke’s African American friend first seen in One Armed Bandits, is in this episode, but yet we never see him again. Such was the way with them folks in Hazzard sometimes…
What was up with Enos?!?!?! We never saw him so woman hungry before…or since!!
This was the last episode to be filmed in Georgia. Here we get one last scenic view at the town of Covington and the roads around it and a lot more “southern feeling” from this episode and the previous 4 than the next 140 that were filmed in California. It’s also the last time for Rosco’s fully staffed Sheriff’s department.
Trivia
- As Roxanne Huntley finds the Duke Boys' file, she addresses them as "Lucas K. And Beauregard". Bo seems slightly embarrassed by the fuller version of his name.
- Only appearance of Uncle Jesse's old 'shine running car, sweet Tillie.
- Rocky Laidler returns as Brodie. His first appearance in One Armed Bandits was uncredited.
Bloopers
- At the end of the final chase, Roxanne Huntley's Ford Granada changes to a later model with rectangular headlights.
- The competition poster contains a couple of spelling mistakes: "Fuel" spelled as "Feul" in rule #2 and "Detonators" spelled as "Detinators" in rule #7.
Quotes
- When Roxanne Huntley sniffs the 'shine fumes and faints:
Bo: "You think we ought to give her mouth-to-mouth recreation?"
Luke: "You mean resuscitation."
Bo: "Maybe, but I bet I'm a whole lot closer to the truth than you are."
