The Dukes of Hazzard (1979)
S03E10 The Great Santa Claus Chase
Episode Overview
In this special Christmas episode, Boss adopts a Scrooge-like demeanor as he schemes to ruin the Dukes' holiday. He hires a trio of criminals to seize their Christmas tree shipment and frame them for the theft. The plan unfolds with two thugs holding Bo and Luke at gunpoint while a third, disguised as a clergyman, offers them a ride and claims they forgot to pay their $500 deposit. Meanwhile, Uncle Jesse and Daisy work to clear the family's name as the criminals plot to betray Boss by stealing more than just their fee, breaking into his safe while dressed as Santa. Bo and Luke, with Cooter’s help, aim to reclaim the trees and have some fun by confusing Rosco and Cletus in their Santa disguises. Ultimately, the episode embraces themes of forgiveness and togetherness when the Dukes invite Rosco and Cletus to their Christmas Eve celebration. Boss later shows up, transformed after reading "A Christmas Carol."
