In Hazzard County, cousins Bo Duke (Scott) and Luke Duke (Knoxville) discover that the rich and powerful Boss Hogg (Reynolds) is plotting the destruction of the land by turning it into a huge coal mine.

Hogg masks his intentions by organizing a rally, in a bid to prevent the townsfolk from objecting to his plans in court that same day. With the corrupt Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and his men hot on their tail, the Dukes, assisted by their cousin Daisy (Simpson), Bo's car General Lee and their Uncle Jesse, fight tooth and nail to save the town from the claws of Boss Hogg.
