a third associate of the robbers - who exactly resembles
Rosco - pose as the Hazzard County sheriff until an
expected armored car shipment to Hazzard Bank arrives,
which they plot to hijack. Bo and Luke, meanwhile, see
Rosco's car sink into the lake but their adversary is
nowhere in sight. They fear the worst and declare that
he has drowned. Later, everyone's overjoyed when they
see Rosco - actually, his criminal double - stumbling
down the streets of Hazzard. Later, Rosco bungles simple
facts (but somehow recalls in exact detail the scheduled
arrival of the armored car), which everyone initially
chalks up to a concussion "Rosco" had suffered. Bo and
Luke later find out this "Rosco" is a phony, and when
exposed, the double imprisons the Duke boys in their
hideout (where the real Rosco is also being kept) so
they cannot interfere in their planned robbery. It
quickly becomes a race against time to stop the phony
Rosco and his accomplices from carrying out their
crimes.
