Plot Summary

President Jimmy Carter sends his car, "Limo One", on ahead down to Georgia before he visits the state. The Secret Service men and the two state police motorcycle cops stop at the Boar's Nest for a fill up and some coffee, where Cooter and the boys are just leaving. The boys spot the car, admire it for a bit and then Bo and Luke depart, leaving Cooter to ogle over the car some more. In fact, Cooter becomes so entranced by the limo...he steals it for a joyride.

Meanwhile, Boss Hogg has a first class chop shop operation going, and Sheriff Rosco knows nothing about it. When the limo turns up missing, Rosco assumes that the same car thieves who had been working the county for the past month are the ones who stole it. Boss figures he's got a sure disaster on his hands if it turns out that his chop shop boys took the car and have cut it to pieces, until Rosco wonders how much of a reward he'll get for bringing that "important car" back. Boss checks in with his operation to warn them about the limo, but two of the members are already out on a run.

The Dukes meanwhile, are trying to figure a way to unload the limo without getting caught and getting into trouble. Jesse calls the FBI, and the boys plan to drop the car off for the FBI to pick it up. On the way, the boys and Cooter are hijacked by Boss's car thieves.

The boys try to follow the limo on foot and meet up with Daisy. Daisy didn't see the limo pass her, so they fugure out where the car could have gone. As they track the limo, Boss shows up in time to spot the limo before the blow torch is put to it. "Little Nell saved by Simon Legree," Bo says.

With the car safe, the Dukes pull together a plan to spring the limo before Boss can return it to the FBI and State Police. They hijack the limo from the chop shop and drive it to the Boar's Nest where Boss is waiting, expecting his chop shop boys to deliver it to him. Bo drives the limo through a puddle and turns Boss's white suit to muck.

With the limo safely back in the hands of the US Government, President Carter telephones Jesse to personally thank him, the boys and Daisy for finding the car and returning it. Jesse's invited to go to dinner with the President, but graciously declines.
