Plot Summary

A pregnant woman and a suitcase full of stolen money spells nothing but trouble for the Dukes. When Bo and Luke pick up Mary Kaye Porter on a back country road, they figure to no more than give her a little bit of money and see her on her way to Florida. But when they try to sneak it into her suitcase they find the money and eventually learn of Mary Kaye’s boyfriend’s ties and trouble. Things come to a head when Mary Kaye goes into labor just as Atlanta gangster Quint McQuade arrives at the Duke Farm to get his money back.
