Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Boss Hogg's bank has received $1,000,000 worth of old, frayed bills, which have been slated to be burned at the Federal Reserve. Not one to let such a golden opportunity slip through his finger, Boss (Sorrell Booke) conjures up a scheme to steal the million for himself, rob his own armored truck to collect the insurance, and frame the Duke boys (Tom Wopat), John Schneider) in the bargain! Without giving everything away, it can be noted that episode's closing gag is adroitly ripped off from the original 1960 version of Ocean's Eleven. Also, Rick Hurst makes his first appearance as soon-to-be deputy Cletus Hogg.
