Plot Summary
Burning money is against Boss's religion. He also figures two million dollars is better than one million. So when a shipment of a million dollars in old bills from the Hazzard Bank is scheduled to be shipped to Atlanta to be replaced with new bills, Boss plans for the truck to have an "accident" and for the money to burn in the truck, thus prompting the insurance to pay the million to the Atlanta Federal Bank so that Hazzard can get the new bills (and Boss can keep the old bills for himself). He swaps the old money for old phone books and sends the truck and driver (his cousin Cletus) off on his merry way. The real money is then hidden at the coffin works and, in the style of "Ocean's 11", Boss plans to bury the money until things cool over. Boss's plan would've worked except...Bo and Luke happen upon Cletus and the burning truck, help put out the fire, and save the one bag of old phone books that Boss wanted burned. Thinking the Dukes must have seen the phone books, which they didn't, Boss figures to frame them for attempting to hijack the truck.
