"Roscoe you Dodo!" thundered Boss Hogg, "Not only did you let that speeder get way but you wrecked you patrol car!"
"But Boss I've got good news, good news."
"What," said Boss Hogg, "you're getting a brain trans-plant?"
"Well no Boss," said Roscoe, "but I found the Dukes old trailer hitch in the road back there near the cross roads it must have fallen out of the bed of Jesse's truck. Now I can arrest them for littering."
"No, no, Roscoe you pea-brain," said Boss Hogg, "You don't thing big enough." Boss Hogg sat down in the Barbers chair that he kept in his office which was in the back room of the Boars nest before continuing.
"What we're going to do is say that the trailer hitch that you found is what prevented you from catching that speeder by causing you to wreck. That way we can charge the Duke boys with obstruction of justice arrest them and throw them in the pokey, and get the insurance money for the car!"
"Good news, good news," Said Roscoe, "I love it when those little wheels in that fat little head of yours start turning."
Balladeer: well while boss was scheming to put the Duke boys away. There was another kind of trouble brewing.
In the main room of the boars nest Daisy was being hassled by some Bonehead Trucker from out of town. He had just tried to grab her behind for the second time in fifteen minutes when suddenly his wrist was grabbed and twisted sideways. Daisy looked up to see Michael at her side.
"Leave the lady alone!" he growled at the man shoving his hand away and pulling Daisy out of his reach. The man charged at Michael and in the next instant came sailing out the door of the Boar's Nest to land right at the feet of Bo and Luke Duke.
"And stay out!" Michael snapped standing in the doorway. Then he looked up to see Bo and Luke standing there.
"Oh brother," thought Michael, "this day just keeps getting more and more complicated."
"What happened, Daisy?" asked Bo
"Oh this Character tried to get fresh with me," said Daisy pointing to the guy on the ground, "and this guy," she said pointing to Michael, "he came to my rescue."
Bo and Luke shook hands with Michael,
"Much obliged to you for helping out our cousin," Said Luke, "I'm Luke Duke and this is my cousin Bo."
"I'm Michael Knight," Replied Michael sounding calmer than he felt. They all walked back inside and sat down at the table that Michael had been sitting at.
"So Mr. Knight," said Bo, "you just passing through?"
"Yeah," said Michael, "I'm on my to Atlanta to-,"
"Freeze," barked a high pitched voice, "Just freeze it you Dukes!" it was Roscoe. Bo and Luke looked more annoyed than worried.
"Dang it, Roscoe," said Bo, "You can't arrest us just for sitting here."
"I'm arresting you for obstructing Justice," snapped Roscoe.
Balladeer: Seems like trouble just comes looking for the Duke boys.
"Obstruction of Justice," said Luke, "we ain't been anywhere near you all day Roscoe so how could we have obstructed justice!"
"You dropped your trailer hitch at the crossroads and caused me to wreck my patrol car and lose the speeder I was chasing! And that is obstruction of Justice." Roscoe turned to Enos who had just walked up.
"Enos, Cuff 'Em and Stuff 'Em."
Enos gave a sad smile and started toward the Duke boys with Roscoe following close behind him.
"I'm sorry, Bo, Luke; but I've got to do my duty."
Suddenly Michael stuck out his foot and tripped Roscoe. Roscoe fell forward in to Enos and they both landed in a tangled heap on the floor.
"Beat it," Michael hissed at Bo and Luke.
"You don't have to tell us twice." Said Luke as he and Bo jumped up and headed for the door. Bo and Luke raced outside and jumped into the General Lee. A moment later you could hear the General Lee peel off down the road.
"That's an obstruction of justice!" Roscoe hollered at Michael before running after the Duke boys. Just as Roscoe disappeared out the door Michael held up his com-link.
"Make it two obstructions, Kitt." Kitt's driver's side door shot open hitting Roscoe in the legs causing him to go end over end and land on top of Enos again.
"Like that Michael," said Kitt. This time Michael was sure he heard a grin in Kitt's voice.
"Bo," said Luke as they shot down the road, "did you get kind of a sense of deja'-vu when we were sitting there talking to that Michael Knight."
"You mean like we've known him somewhere before," replied Bo.
"Yeah," Said Luke, "it's not like most out of town folks who don't know Hazzard to help us like that."
"Well," said Bo swerving around another curve as Roscoe and Enos pulled in behind them sirens blaring, "If it's true then why wouldn't he admit to meeting us before?"
"I don't know cousin," said Luke, "but right now we ain't got time to figure that out."
The Duke boys rounded another curve and found themselves headed straight for the railroad crossing.
Balladeer: Well folks while Bo and Luke were on the run from Boss and Roscoe our friend Michael was headed out of the county toward Atlanta.
Michael and Kitt had just reached the county line when Michael slammed on the brakes.
"I can't do it pal," said Michael, "The Dukes may not know me anymore but they are still my friends and I can't leave them in the lurch like this." Michael spun the car around and headed back into the county.
"Kitt," he said, "Find Bo and Luke and plot me the quickest route to their location."
Balladeer: While Michael was trying find Bo and Luke the duke boys have gotten themselves into more trouble. Seems a train is coming through which means they can't cross the tracks and Roscoe and Enos are bearing down on them. That means that the boys are trapped between Roscoe and the train. Boy, some days you just can't win for losing.
Meanwhile on the road on the opposite side of the tracks Michael and Kitt were approaching fast.
"Michael," said Kitt, "My scanners indicate that your friends are trapped on the other side of that train!" Michael studied the digital simulation of what was going on that Kitt had punched up on his monitors.
"Kitt said Michael, "I've got an idea, give me maximum power to the Turbo Boost!"
On the other side of the train Bo and Luke had spun the General Lee around and we're sitting there facing the advancing patrol cars trying to decide what to do. Roscoe on the other hand was bouncing with glee.
"I got them this time!"
Balladeer: You reckon Roscoe would be a gloating so much if he knew what was happening on the other side of that train.
Michael and Kitt were barreling toward the train at one hundred and fifteen miles per hour at the last second Michael hit the button marked Turbo-Boost. Kitt shot into the air, flew over the train, and over the general lee and the astonished heads of Bo and Luke to land gracefully right between them and the approaching patrol cars. As the astounded Duke gaped open mouthed the car shot forward again and ran Roscoe and Enos into the ditch.
"This is Knight Rider to the Lost Sheep," said Michael over the Dukes CB, "don't just sit there with you teeth in you mouth come on." The boys shook themselves out of there daze and sped of with they mysterious black trans-am while Roscoe clambered of his wreck patrol car and slammed his hat to the ground. To the Duke boy's amazement their mysterious friend led them straight to still sight number 2 there usual meeting place.
When they reached the still sight Jesse and Daisy were already there waiting for them. Bo and Luke climbed out of the General Lee and waited eagerly to see who there Mysterious benefactor was to there surprise who should climb out of the car but their friend Michael Knight.
"Mr. Knight," said Luke, "It ain't that ain't grateful for what you've done but we want to know just who you are."
"I don't understand Luke," Michael trying to play dumb, "what are you getting at?"
"Well," said Bo, "first at the Boar's nest you stuck you neck out for us for no apparent reason, then you did it again at the crossing."
"That's right," said Luke, ''and just now back at the crossing you didn't call us by name you called us by our handle and as if that wasn't enough just now you exactly where our still sight was."
"Those are an awful lot of peculiarities, Mr. Knight," said Jesse in his gentle manner, "are you sure there ain't something you'd like to tell us?"
