Plot

When mischievous teenaged cousins Bo and Luke Duke are arrested, both boys are paroled to the care of their Uncle Jesse in Hazzard, sentenced to a summer of hard work. It's not long before the Duke boys learn of Boss Hogg's plans to foreclose on Uncle Jesse's farm. Together, with help from their cousin Daisy, Bo and Luke vow to save the family's property and its storied history of producing the best moonshine in all of Hazzard.

In this prequel re-telling of the famous 1979-1985 TV series of the same name, the teenage mischievous Duke boys, cousins Bo and Luke (Jonathan Bennett and Randy Wayne), are arrested for reckless driving and possession of illegal fireworks. They are sent to live with their Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) on his farm in rural Hazzard County in an unnamed southwestern state. Bo and Luke's dowdy orphaned cousin Daisy (April Scott) soon joins them. Jesse is also a moonshiner who struggles to make ends meet and soon employs the willing Bo and Luke to be his runners to deliver his "special" White Lighting whiskey to all parts of the county after observing their driving skills using a fixed-up orange-painted 1969 Dodge Charger, The General Lee. But it doesn't take long for Bo and Luke to find a worthy opponent in the form of the cigar-chomping J.D. "Boss" Hogg (Christopher McDonald), the corrupt city commissioner of the nearby small town and county seat capital of Hazzard who determines to stop the Duke Boys in any way possible.
