The Dukes of Hazzard

- Season 6

(1983)

Lulu has been kidnapped, and the Duke boys, knowing what she means to Boss Hogg, help secure her safe return.

The daughter-in-law of a cotton tycoon flees to Hazzard County and anonymously leaves her infant son in the General Lee. The Dukes eventually find out that the mother, Mary Lou Craig, has lost custody of her baby to her father-in-law, Emerson T. Craig, who has her declared unfit (because she married above her social class). While Bo and Luke track down a judge that they know is open-minded and willing to issue an injunction, Mr. Craig enlists Boss' help to enforce the existing court order. However, Mr. Craig - having observed Rosco's bumbling - continues to press his ...

While Rosco is chasing the Dukes, a pair of bank robbers runs the sheriff's car off the road. After the car sinks into the lake, the robbers kidnap Rosco. While the town grieves over Rosco's apparent fate, the robbers are plotting their next move: unveiling a third associate, a vicious crook named Woody - who looks exactly like Rosco! Their ultimate scheme is to rob an armored car that is scheduled to arrive at Hazzard Bank. When Bo and Luke expose the phony Rosco, Woody and his associates imprison the Duke cousins at their hideout (along with the real Rosco) so they ...

Luke reunites with his long-lost brother, a boxer named Jed. Jed's got a secret to hide: He's trying to flee a professional gambler who had lost his entire fortune in Jed's fight that was supposed to be fixed. Now, the gambler wants to kill Jed in revenge.

Bo and Luke serve as coaches for Hazzard's pee-wee basketball team, the Boar's Nest Bears. A variety of situations involving team star Rod Moffet arise. First, Rod doesn't want to play because he is still grieving the recent death of his father. When the Dukes convince him to play, Chicasaw Commissioner A.C. Tate threatens to foreclose on the Moffet estate if he plays for Hazzard. When Tate's effort is unsuccessful, he then comes forward with a phony birth certificate claiming that Rod is ineligible because he is too old; this was part of Tate and Boss wagering on the...

The Beaudry clan frames Boss for sabotaging Uncle Jesse's car, which is involved in a rollover accident during a race between the two rivals. The Beaudrys use the distractions so they can steal Boss' old moonshine still.

Rosco is despondent when Flash is dog-napped, having been mistaken for a valuable show dog named Maxine. Flash's captors, who are hoping to claim a large reward for returning the missing dog, soon learn they have the wrong dog and head toward the Hazzard County Orphanage. That's where withdrawn orphan Terry Lee has bonded with Maxine. When Boss - also after the reward - learns about Maxine's whereabouts, he goes to the orphanage and takes Maxine. The Dukes are soon on the search for both dogs.

At an airport, jewel thieves steal a valuable diamond necklace, but the case soon becomes mixed in with some other luggage. Daisy and Lulu, who are returning from a trip, accidentally pick up the luggage with the diamond inside. The thieves soon realize who has the necklace and travel to the Duke farm to retrieve it. When Daisy and Lulu are kidnapped, Bo, Luke, Enos - and later, a drag-dressed Boss and Rosco - plan a number of schemes to capture the bad guys and return the necklace to its owner.

Bo and Luke try to figure out how the same woman could be in two places at once during a daring jewelry store robbery. Could it be that the woman and her twin sister are experienced thieves, and are counting on dissension in the Dukes' ranks to get away with their plans?

Syndicate mobster Scanlon escapes from the California State Penitentiary and flees to Hazzard, where he plans to engage in a deadly showdown with Enos. The Dukes are quickly able to capture the crafty Scanlon, but thanks to Rosco's bumbling, he escapes. This time, Scanlon is determined to exact his revenge on Enos, and uses Daisy to ensure it will happen.

Daisy takes to the skies to help the Dukes' friend, a crop duster who is injured. Boss learns about this and plants lye in the chemicals, knowing that the farmers would hold the Dukes responsible when their crops become ruined.

The Duke boys try to convince Cooter's estranged daughter that he has changed his ways; while at the same time trying to foil Collins' and Morgan's attempt to dump toxic waste in Hazzard.

To collect a $20,000 reward from wealthy industrialist Carter Stewart, Boss has crooked hypnotist Professor Crandall convince Daisy that she is Stewart's long-lost daughter, Vivian (who happens to bear an exact resemblance to Daisy). Boss doesn't count on Stewart's fortune-hunting niece and nephew wanting to kill Daisy, since they are fully aware that they are next in line to inherit Stewart's fortune on his passing.

Boss has Artie Bender, the Rembrant of Hazzard County, declared legally dead so he can sell Bender's paintings at inflated prices. It works out well for Boss, since Bender is the only one who can clear Bo and Luke of armored car robbery charges.

Luke's old girlfriend, budding country singer Candy Dix, is targeted by her abusive manager, Eddie Lee, who wants to kill her so he can collect a $75,000 insurance payment. When Luke offers to protect Candy, Eddie Lee - himself trying to run from a bookie, to whom he owes $100,000 in gambling debts - approaches Boss and Rosco to have the Dukes arrested for kidnapping.

Bo and Luke are asked by a government agent to go undercover and infiltrate a gambling ring on the NASCAR circuit. They agree but must keep mum about their true plans, angering Uncle Jesse and Daisy.

Bo and Luke begin infiltrating J.J. Carver's organization, compiling evidence to bring Carver and his henchmen to justice. But Boss and Rosco - aware that the Duke boys have left for the NASCAR circuit but unaware they are government witnesses - nearly blow the whole operation when they confront Luke while he is secretly taking photographs of Carver's activities.

Another of Boss' corrupt nephews, Dewey Hogg, claims he's dying of a dread disease and announces plans to raise $100,000 for a new children's hospital. Knowing he'll ultimately be exposed, he plans to disappear and leave Uncle Jesse holding the bag.

Daisy accidentally gets her notebook, containing notes for the church play she is directing, switched with a notebook containing the criminal activities of mobster "Nervous" Norman Willis, who comes to Hazzard to collect payment due from Boss. When Willis finds out his notebook is switched, he begins tracking down Daisy, fearing she will take the notebook to the authorities.

Boss loses patience with Enos' continual reluctance to pursue the Dukes and, after demoting him to a civilian job, hires ill-tempered Billy Joe Coogan to replace him. After easily capturing Bo and Luke, Coogan demands Boss pay a $150,000 fee for services rendered, or else he and his cronies will blow up Hazzard Dam.

Jonas Jones, Cooter's friend and an ex-convict, is falsely blamed for hijacking Boss's expected shipment of automobile parts (which, of course, he plans to sell at inflated prices). Knowing that Jonas could spend years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, Cooter decides to take the fall. When they find out that the auto parts distributor is the front for a hijacking operation, the Dukes go undercover to infiltrate the scheme.

Boss hires a pair of fortune-telling con artists to steal the daily receipts at the Boar's Nest, then pin the blame on waitress Daisy. The fortune tellers are also involved in Boss' cover-up attempt to conceal his having cashing in on the Hoggs' bonds when Lulu asks to do so.
