After Uncle Jesse is wrongly accused of being behind a car-stripping ring operated by Boss Hogg and his nephew, temporary Sheriff Hughie Hogg; Bo and Luke are determined to clear Jesse's name by putting the racket out of business

Boss Hogg unleashes his "secret weapon" against the Dukes: his college-educated nephew Hughie Hogg (Jeff Altman), who comes to Hazzard with some dirty tricks and schemes to frame Bo and Luke into prison.

Hughie Hogg is back in town! He coaxes Bo and Luke into joining the Hazzard County Fire Department (so he can sneak shine in to the Duke farm). Rosco catches the Dukes with shine, and they get away. It's one big scheme to get the Duke boys in jail, but in the end Hughie's plan is ruined, and Boss Hogg is really mad!

Hughie Hogg's latest scheme targets Cooter, whose garage is threatened with eminent domain so the crooked Hogg can build shoddy condominiums at an inflated price.

When Rosco is up for re-election, Boss has no trouble supporting him until his devious nephew Hughie Hogg returns to run for sheriff and blackmails his uncle into helping him by showing evidence of a crooked deal he made.

Hughie Hogg returns to Hazzard with his ultimate plan to cheat Boss out of everything he owns by making him think there's a genie in a magic lamp that will give him all sorts of wishes.
