Beaten to a Pulp: Prologue:

Cooter Davenport was working on his car in his Garage, and he was whistling a happy tune, and he was thinking that he was lucky, his life was perfect, and he was happy, his relationship with his first daughter, Nancy Lou Nelson, from a past relationship was great, he got married to a beautiful woman from Washington, where he served his Senate term, Lorraine Tate, and he had a beautiful four year old daughter, Monica, and he couldn't complain, life in Hazzard was great. But Cooter has no idea that he was being watched.

The two shady characters in a car were watching Cooter very carefully and closely, and they were impressed on how the Garage was so successful, and it would make a great front for their Gun Operation, and Leo, and Scotty both agreed that if Cooter didn't cooperate and sell his business, that he would have to die, and Leo said to his partner, "Call Mr. Connelly, and tell him everything is smooth as silk so far", and Scotty called his boss, and said, "Everything is a go", and Connelly said on the other end of the line, and said, "No messing up, we have to be on schedule", and they hung up, and Leo, and Scotty continued their watch.

Mavis, another Mechanic, came in, and she said, "How's everything, Coot?" and he said, "Well, everything is smooth as a baby's butt, and we had a pretty slow day, so you go and enjoy your day off, and I will be done as soon as I fixed the Oil Valve on my baby", and she nodded, and left to get some lunch at the nearby Café.

Scotty and Leo saw that the coast was clear, and Mavis left, they entered the Garage, and Cooter looked up, and saw them, and said with a friendly smile, "May I help you, Fellows?" and Scotty said, "We got an offer to buy your Garage", and Cooter said, "I am sorry, but it's not for sale", and Leo said, "Well, my boss is prepared to make you an offer, and I would listen to it if I was you", and he poked a finger into Cooter's chest, and Cooter was now mad, and he said with venom, "I am not interested, and please do not poke a finger into my chest, it's impolite, and go back to the rock where you came from, and tell your boss to shove it!", and they all fought, and the thugs beaten Cooter to a bloody pulp, and left him half dead, and when Mavis came in with her, and Cooter's lunches, she dropped them, and screamed, and she prepared to C.P.R., and anything to save his life, she called the Ambulance, then Lorraine, and the Dukes, and she went for the ride with Cooter in the Ambulance, and they headed for Tri-County Hospital, and she held her friend's hand, and said quietly to him, "Please, Cooter, hang on, hang on, we are almost there", and she said to herself in a prayer, "God, please help Cooter, I will be grateful", and the rest of the ride was made in silence.
