action

The mayor of Hazzard County, Boss Hogg, wants to take possession of the surrounding farms in order to get to the mineral resources below. Cousins ​​Bo and Luke Duke try to thwart this plan so that their uncle Jesse can keep his belongings. Her cousin Daisy supports her. By chance, the two cousins ​​find a drill sample in the Hogg safe. Bo and Luke go to Atlanta to have the drill samples examined and visit their old friend Katie at the same time. The investigation shows that it is coal. They then learn his plan from Hogg when they are in prison. He wants to build a coal mine on Uncle Jesse's farm. He can only do this if he files a motion in court and none of the citizens of Hazzard County votes against it. But since all citizens are at the annual rally, nobody can refuse the application. Bo and Luke return to Hazzard County and thwart Hogg's plan by not only winning the rally, but also getting the application rejected - which is why they are hailed as heroes.
