Plot Summary
Boss buys a mirror which once belonged to Robert E. Lee's dentist, and plans on charging folks $1 to look into it. Unfortunately, Luke gets into a brawl with a professional boxer, Catfish Lee, and breaks the mirror when he's punched into it. Catfish's corrupt manager, Billy Ray, persuades Boss to set up a proper fight between Luke and Catfish, with Boss getting the concession and gambling rights. Billy Ray then arranges for Luke to be kidnapped before the fight so that he can keep 100% of the prize money, but Luke escapes and makes it back to Hazzard just in time.
Commentary
Trivia
- Commentary by Tom Wopat, John Schneider and Catherine Bach is available with this episode on the DVD. It can also be viewed in DukesVision, where the commentating actors appear in the bottom corner of the screen.
- Pat Cranshaw returns for his second appearance as the doctor. In his first appearance, Double Sting, he was Doc Petticord. This time he isn't named. The doctor drives a 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Futuramic.
- Luke was the divisional boxing champion while he was in the Marines.
Bloopers
- A member of the crew holding a boom mic can briefly be seen on the left side of the mirror as the General approaches it at the beginning of the episode.
- During the scene where Luke lifts the mirror, Billy Ray asks, "Catfish, how much you figure that mirror weighs?" The shot of Catfish is taken from the later scene in Boss' office, which can be identified by the wallpaper.
- In Dianne Kennedy's first appearance (Hazzard Connection), her character was Bessie Lou Perkins. This time it's spelled Bessie Loo Perkins. It looks like she's the blonde woman selling popcorn, but she only appears in the background of the fight scenes.
Quotes
- When the first mirror is being installed:
Bo: "It's crooked, Boss."
Boss: "Boy, don't ever use them two words in one breath again."
- When Culpepper shoots out Bo's tire:
Waylon: "I'll bet if it rained soup right now, the Dukes' bowl would be upside down."
