Recap / The Dukes Of Hazzard S 1 E 11 Money To Burn

Go To

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Coffin Contraband: Boss hiding the old, worn money in a coffin and burying it in Hazzard Cemetery.
  • First Appearance: Cletus Hogg, Boss' cousin. Although generally friendly to the Duke family and certainly a competent law enforcement officer, he is clearly more willing to follow Boss' lead.
  • Money to Burn: The episode title is not the trope maker, make no mistake. Rather, it's in the literal sense ... that Bo and Luke — upon learning about Boss' scheme — set out to make sure the money reaches its intended destination (the incinerator, to destroy the old bills that have been retired from circulation).
  • Recognition Failure: As intelligent as Enos is, he has no idea who William McKinley is, prompting Rosco to call him a jackass and say that McKinley's portrait is on the $50 bill. Boss corrects the errant Rosco: McKinley's portrait is on the $500 bill.
  • Shirtless Scene: Bo and Luke in the opening scenes. This was fairly common in early episodes, done as Fanservice for the 18-to-25-year-old women in the audience. (Alas, no pretty, scantily clad women hanging off them.)
  • Victoria's Secret Compartment: To foil Cletus's attempts to arrest Bo and Luke, Daisy locks him (and herself) in a barn and hides the key in her bra.
