Convict Digger Jackson (
Charles Napier) has escaped from prison, swearing revenge on Boss Hogg (
Sorrell Booke). By and by, Jackson kidnaps Boss and holds him for ransom, but no one has any inclination to pay up--and the only people who could possibly rescue Boss, Bo (
John Schneider) and Luke (
Tom Wopat), are themselves fugitives, having been framed for a robbery committed by Jackson during his escape. Highlights include a climactic chase on horseback and a performance of "Jambalaya" by Freddie Fender, the latest victim of Boss' "celebrity speed trap." Originally scheduled for March 27, 1981, this episode was bumped forward to March 13. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
