Episode Summary

THE BIG HEIST
ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 3/30/79
INTRO: Hazzard County has its big heist. Y'all hang around for the big 
mix-up, ya hear.

SUMMARY: A disgruntled chicken farmer steals $30,000 of Boss's illegal 
liquor money to make up for the faulty equipment Boss sold him. But 
it's Bo and Luke who wind up with egg on their faces and on the hook 
for robbery when the thief forces them to help him escape. When the 
thief take a shine to Daisy and the Dukes hear his story, they decide 
to bring Boss' chickens home to roost.

NOTES: 
* - This episode shows someone other than Cooter running the Hazzard 
Garage.
* - This is the first time we see General Lee go up on two wheels. The 
really neat part is it's not Bo or Luke driving, it's Daisy!
