Plot Summary
Bo and Luke take a job driving an 18-wheeler for a couple of days so they can come up with $180 to pay Cooter for repairs to the General Lee. They're told it's to demonstrate shock absorbers, but the 18-wheeler turns out to be a rolling casino headed by Helen Hogan, who previously pulled scams in Hazzard County (without Boss' permission). When a friend of the Duke family is bilked out of $1200 in the rigged games of the casino, the Dukes come up with a plan to win back the money and shut down the casino. Boss wants to shut down the casino too...but only to take the equipment and start his own.
Commentary
Trivia
- The hands performing Uncle Jesse's card tricks actually belong to John Schneider.
- The bridge where the Dukes drop off Dewey Stovall at the end of the episode was previously seen during the race in Luke's Love Story.
Bloopers
- The 18-wheeler has the same license plate as Swamp Molly's pickup: RD 2450.
- When Rosco sneaks inside the 18-wheeler, he pulls the back door shut with a chain, but when Luke follows him in a couple of minutes later, he has to open the latch to gain access, even though no one closed it.
