Plot Summary
The Dukes' friends and neighbors, Burl and Sherry Tolliver, want to enter their horse Manassas in the upcoming Mrs. J.D. Hogg Stakes Race – the highlight of the annual Hazzard County Fair. The Tollivers are convinced that Manassas is fast enough to win the $10,000 first prize, so Bo and Luke decide to pace-check the horse against the General. Word of the horse's speed soon spreads after the time trial is witnessed by Rosco and Enos (who arrive sharing a patrol car for some unexplained reason). After Boss promises Lulu that she'll be the owner of the winning horse, Manassas gets kidnapped, first by Rosco, and then by some traveling horse thieves. The combination of straw in the back of Rosco's patrol car and Enos's loose lips help to put the Dukes on the kidnappers' trail. When they find Manassas, Luke gets the job of riding the horse back to the fair grounds [sic] in time for registration while Bo decoys the horse thieves.
