Plot Summary

Luke and Bo as deputies

Rocky Marlowe, public enemy 1 through 10, has won himself a change of venue from Springville County to Hazzard. Boss sees a money-making opportunity with a high profile case such as Marlowe's being held in Hazzard. He does not, however, agree to let Rosco go and pick up the prisoner, citing that he promised Lulu that he would keep Rosco "from getting your fool head shot off."

Not wanting to risk Rosco, or Enos for that matter, Boss decides to send Bo and Luke (who are cooling their heals in jail from an unrelated incident) to fetch Marlowe, in exchange for not selling off the General Lee. The boys agree and head off to Springville, but not before being spotted in deputies' uniforms by Daisy and Cooter.

Once in Springville, Chief Lacey sends along one of his officers to accompany the boys back to Hazzard. Officer Price, however, is not who she claims to be, but the boys, nor Rocky Marlowe know this. Added to the equation are a couple of Rocky's "business associates" who are looking to spring their boss before he gets to Hazzard.

Trivia

• If Springville looks familiar, it might be because it's Hazzard Square covered in dirt and with a few signs changed.
• The Springville farmer's pickup, which gets its door knocked off, may also look familiar as it's the one from Swamp Molly.
• First of two appearances by Norman Alden as Chief Lacey. The second is in The Ghost of General Lee.
• Leo Gordon (Rocky Marlowe) also returned to Hazzard as Devere in The Meeting.

Bloopers

Visible blue jeans

• Bo and Luke have their clothes stolen, and have bare legs when they climb into the General, but they're wearing blue jeans just before they crash into Rosco.
• Just before the Springville farmer gets his door knocked off, he parks outside the Springville Hotel (Boss' bank redressed), but when he checks to see if the street is clear, the hotel is about 50 yards ahead.

Quotes

• After taking a wrong turn:
  Bo: "So I ain't perfect... just pretty."

• Talking about Boss' idea for a merry-go-round:
  Rosco: "And then, whenever somebody grabs that gold ring, they get a free ride."
  Boss: "Rosco, don't you ever use the word 'free' in my presence."

• When Boss suggests they deputize the Duke Boys to collect Rocky Marlowe:
  Rosco: "You're just beautiful, Boss."
  Boss: "Beautiful? Real nice-looking, maybe, but not beautiful.
  Boss leaves the room:
  Rosco: "Ain't that the truth. He's a mess of ugly."

• When he finds out that Boss sent the boys to pick up Rocky Marlowe unarmed:
  Jesse: "You dressed-up marshmallow!"
