As means of repaying an old debt of honor, Jesse (
Denver Pyle) comes to the rescue of an incarcerated Boss Hogg (
Sorrell Booke). Thrown in the slammer by Sheriff Roscoe (
James Best) for robbing his own bank, Boss begs Jesse to post bail, which Jesse does by mortgaging his farm. Little do the Dukes realize that they've fallen for a ruse cooked up by Boss and Roscoe to swindle the family out of their property! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
