Luke's been home for about two weeks now. He had just started doing his chores again so he wouldn't wipe Bo out with all the work. One day Luke noticed that Bo was about to fall over so he told Bo to go inside and rest, and he finished Bo's chores for him. He decided to help Bo out because Bo helped him out while he was recovering.
During the afternoon one day Uncle Jesse had Bo and Luke go into town to pick up some sugar from Mr. Rhuebottom's. Bo was originally going to go by himself but Luke decided to go with him so they didn't have a repeat of what happened the last time Bo went into town by himself.
They didn't run into any trouble on their way into town. They kept their eyes wide open looking around for Benson and Hixx but they never saw them. They figured that was a good thing because it meant no trouble for the time being. But they knew sooner or later they would run into Benson and Hixx and that's when they would run into the trouble. They were hoping that they wouldn't get in any trouble for at least one day. But these are the Dukes we are talking about.
After they stopped at Mr. Rhuebottom's they headed over to Cooter's. They figured while they were in town it wouldn't hurt to stop and visit with Cooter.
"Hey, y'all, what's going on?" Cooter asked as Bo and Luke walked into the garage.
"Nothing much," Luke answered. "We just stopped at Mr. Rhuebottom's to pick up some sugar for Uncle Jesse."
"How're you feeling?" Cooter asked.
Luke shrugged. "I've been feeling just fine."
Cooter smiled. "Well, that's good. Have y'all seen Benson or Hixx anywhere?"
Bo shook his head. "No, we haven't. And I wanna get my hands on him and make him pay for all the trouble that he's caused."
Luke put his hand on Bo's shoulder. "Take it easy, Bo. Ain't worth wasting your breath."
"So what're y'all doing today?" Cooter asked.
Luke shrugged. "Well, there ain't much we can do in town with Benson and Hixx on the loose. We're probably gonna spend all day working at the farm and helping Uncle Jesse and Daisy. I really don't wanna do anything else until Benson is back behind bars."
"Well, I ain't really got nothing to do today," Cooter said. "Mind if I come out to the farm with y'all?"
Bo shook his head. "No, you're welcome to join us. It'd be nice to have some company."
"All right!" Cooter said as he clapped his hands together. "Let's go y'all."
Bo, Luke, and Cooter climbed into the General and headed out of town. But as they left they didn't know that they were being followed by a light blue sedan again. They also didn't know how much trouble they were going to get into with that sedan following them.
As they turned onto Old Mill Road the light blue sedan was creeping up on them really fast. Neither Bo, Luke, nor Cooter knew that the sedan was following them. Well, neither of them knew until the sedan rammed into the rear end of the General. When they felt the shove Bo, Luke, and Cooter turned around and saw the sedan right on their tail. Bo almost lost control of the wheel when the sedan rammed into the General two more times.
"Well, that's them," Luke announced.
"No, I never noticed," Bo said sarcastically.
"What're we gonna do?" Cooter asked.
Suddenly, they heard a gunshot ring out. They heard two more shots and one of them hit on Bo's side of the General. Luke reached down and grabbed the CB.
"This is Luke Duke calling Rosco P. Coltrane. Come back."
"This is Rosco P. Coltrane here. All right, state your business."
"Rosco, listen, we're on Old Mill Road heading toward the farm with Benson on out tails."
"Benson? Who's Benson? Oh, wait, Benson! Oh, I remember him!"
"Yeah, well, he's shooting at us. We ain't gonna be able to hold him off much longer. Do you think you can get out here and give us a hand?"
"You betcha! Me and Enos will be out there in two shakes of a lamb's tail! I'm gone!"
"Yeah, I'm gone, too."
Luke put the CB back down just as another gunshot rang out. They were sitting ducks this time.
"Luke, I don't think we're gonna get outta this," Bo said.
"Yes, we are," Luke answered. "Use both sides of the road."
Bo turned the wheel from side to side so Benson would have a harder time hitting them. Apparently, it wasn't good enough. All three of them heard a big pop and the General went out of control. Bo tried to keep it on the road but they went off the road and finally stopped next to Hazzard Pond.
Bo, Luke, and Cooter climbed out of the General just as Benson and Hixx pulled up beside them. The second Benson and Hixx were out of the car they pulled out their guns.
"You ain't getting away this time, Luke Duke," Benson growled.
"I don't think so, Benson," Luke said.
"Oh, I do," Benson said. "I've wanted to get revenge on you for the longest time. And I'm gonna finish this right here and now.'
Benson cocked the gun and pointed it right at Luke's chest. Luke could just see Benson's fingers slowly pushing on the trigger. Luke closed his eyes and was prepared for pain when he heard a gunshot.
