"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke" |
|||
131 | 131 | October 5, 1984 | |
Luke accidentally drinks some water tainted with personality-altering genetics that had been accidentally dumped into the lake. It turns the good-natured Duke into an abusive thug: he insults his friends and family after a hay ride; he vandalizes a farm by recklessly driving through the property; then makes a pass at a pretty girl at the Boar's Nest. Luke's wicked personality draws the attention of a pair of bank robbers, who reason that Luke can tell them everything they need to know about robbing Hazzard Bank. Meanwhile, the other Dukes find out the water had been polluted, and they visit the genetics research firm to press for answers. Boss Hogg and Rosco get wind of Luke's new attitude and plans to rob Hazzard Bank, and – after setting up a makeshift security camera in the bank – prepares for the robbery to frame Luke for the crime. While Bo and Enos race after Luke and the two bank robbers, it's up to Jesse and Daisy to try to explain things to Rosco, who's a little to eager to rush the videotape to the FBI ... but he leaves a hungry Flash to guard the tape.

A computer technician is fired from his job, shortly after completing work on a contract. He and a co-worker get revenge against their former employer by stealing a caché of electronics, to sell on the black market, then steal back for ransom. In Hazzard County, they meet with Boss Hogg to sell one of the items – a robot named Bobby Joe. Bo and Luke – who had an earlier run-in with the crooks – are suspicious and investigate the van. Rosco catches the Duke boys inside, but bungles the arrest. The robot, however, is easily able to apprehend the Dukes. Boss is impressed, buys the robot, and promptly promotes Bobby Joe to Hazzard County sheriff. Then, in the most demeaning manner possible, Boss fires Rosco. While the Dukes console a depressed Rosco, Boss' eyes light up like a 10-year-old on Christmas Day as Bobby Joe wreaks havoc throughout Hazzard County, not realizing the crooks plan to steal back the robot and demand a $25,000 payment ... or else.
