to:
* TheAlibi: Larson insists his mook was with him, and therefore couldn't be the person who ran the Dukes off the road.
* AreTheseWiresImportant: Accidental. At the beginning of the episode Luke has recently rebuilt the General Lee's carborator. As they're getting run off the road (see WeNeedADistraction below) the carborator starts to act up. Once they have a chance to look at it Bo discovers a couple of screws that Luke apparently forgot to secure.
-->'''Bo:''' I found the problem. ''[holds up a couple of screws]'' Couldn't figure out where these went, huh?
* AskAStupidQuestion:
-->'''Rosco:''' Why are we going to the Duke farm?
-->'''Boss:''' Why? Why? [[SarcasmMode To pick apples]]. To go get the letter!
* {{Auction}}: Boss plans to auction Silas's house, worth $50,000, at midnight and arrange for Rosco to be the only one there to bid, so it'll go for a mere $5,000.
* BackFromTheDead: Boss is led to believe this has happened toSilas.Silas.
* ChekhovsGun:
** Mr. Winkle the ventriloquist uses a remote control early in the episode to control a chair which allegedly has an invisible Rosco on it. This along with Winkle's ability to mimic voices comes in handy later when they're setting up JD to be "haunted" by Silas Hogg. Even Lampshaded:
-->'''Waloyn:''' Y'all remember that remote control gizmo Winkle used on the chair with Rosco's voice? Well they're fixin' to use it again.
** In the letter Silas refers to JD as his "scalawag" nephew. Later Rosco [[SayingTooMuch denies that he and Boss went to the Duke farm to steal a letter where Silas calls Boss a scalawag]]. Then Daisy asks Cooter if Silas ever mentioned updating his will; Cooter doesn't remember that but he does recall, unprompted, that the last time he was with Silas Silas had seen JD going into the county courthouse and called him his "scalawag nephew." Daisy doesn't pick up on this.
* DamselInDistress: In the final act Larson and his mook hold Daisy at gunpoint in order to take all the money and skedaddle.
* EnemyMine: The Dukes team up with Boss and Rosco in the final scenes to rescue Daisy from the even worse Mr. Larson and his mook, who have her at gunpoint.
* FieryCoverup: once Boss has his hands on the letter he burns it.
* FlashedBadgeHijack: Rosco commandeers a young boy's bicycle in order to ride into town when he's stranded out in the wilds of Hazzard without a vehicle.
* {{Gaslighting}}: During the "haunting" Bo and Luke show up at Silas's house and claim not to hear anything unusual, such as Silas haunting JD.
* UsefulNotes/HowDoIUsedTense: Used as a gag during one of Waylon's [[QuipToBlack Quips to Black]]:
-->'''Rosco:''' ''[pulling his gun on the Dukes]'' Freeze!
-->'''Waylon:''' Well just about anywhere Rosco fired he'd hit a Duke. So they freezed. Uh, froze. Uh, they did what he said.
* JitterCam: Used for some reason when Boss and Rosco are searching the Duke farm for Silas's letter.
* JustTestingYou: Rosco is confused as to why he and Boss Hogg were going to the Duke farm. When Boss explains that they're going to steal the letter Jesse has naming him as the new executor of Silas's estate, Rosco replies, "Oh, well, I was just wanted to see if ''you'' knew."
* LimitedWardrobe: To dress formally for the reading of the will, Jesse puts a battered suit coat over his regular faded overalls and shirt and trades his usual red cap for a fedora.
* {{Lockdown}}: Boss makes up a communicable disease that he claims the Duke may have picked up during a short trip in order to quarantine them for 24 hours.
* LostWillAndTestament: Silas's lawyer Mr. Larson "loses" the written will that he had made recently, which named Jesse Duke the executor of the estate, leaving the [[VideoWill phonograph record will]] that Silas made 15 years previously which named JD as executor. Larson does this in exchange for 50% of the estate which he will split with JD Hogg.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Boss plans to scam Larson out of at least part of the 50/50 split they have arranged for Silas's effects by selling Silas's house dirt cheap, then giving Larson half of the sale price. Meanwhile Larson is planning on stealing all of Silas's money from Boss.
* NotProven: Judge Carter believes Jesse, but without any evidence such as a copy of the real will or a confession by one of the conspirators there's nothing he can do about it.
* TheOner: The scene where Boss and Rosco search the Duke farmhouse for the letter is done in one continuous take on JitterCam.
* PassedOverInheritance: Instead of leaving his money to JD Hogg, Silas Hogg left all his money to charity.
* RunningGag: The "say hello from Rosco" bit returns.
-->'''Boss Hogg:''' ''[on his knees, talking to what he thinks is the ghost of his dead uncle Silas]'' This is your poor nephew JD Hogg.
-->'''Rosco:''' ''[also on his knees]'' Say hello from Rosco.
-->'''Boss Hogg:''' Not at a time like this!
* ScoobyDooHoax: The Dukes set one up, the eponymous "Haunting of JD Hogg," in order to make him confess to there being another will.
* ShootingGallery: While guarding the Dukes during their quarantine Rosco sets up some bottles and practices his QuickDraw.
* SpitTake: Rosco does one while drinking out of one of his ShootingGallery bottles. It must not taste very good.
* TellMeAgain: Using those exact words, JD asks Mr. Larson the lawyer who to restate his plan.
* TryAndFollow: The Dukes make a jump in the General Lee in order to lose Larson's mook, who is following them with bad intentions.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee:
** We don't hear any details of Luke's plan to haunt JD until we see it in action.
** When Daisy is kidnapped Luke draws up a plan to rescue her but we don't hear it because Waylon is too busy narrating that Luke [[NarratingTheObvious drew up a plan to rescue Daisy]].
* {{Ventriloquism}}: Mr. Winkle, a retired ventriloquist, performs a routing once a year for Daisy's "[[ScoutOut All Girl Junior Patrol]]" troop. His ability to mimic others' voices becomes a ChekhovsGun.
* VideoWill: A variant. Silas Hogg recorded his will on a phonograph record 15 years previously. However he rewrote the will a month ago, but it's a regular paper will.
* WeNeedADistraction:
** Mr. Larson the lawyer has his mook delay the Dukes from getting back to their farm to bring back a letter naming Jesse the executor of Silas's estate, so that Boss and Rosco can get there first and steal the letter in question.
