Attractive history professor Laura Bardsley (Jeannie Wilson) arrives in Hazzard County in search of an authentic Civil War strongbox, said to contain a huge army payroll. Naturally, Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) is anxious to get his lunch-hooks on the strongbox himself--and so, unfortunately, are a pair of crooks who tend to settle arguments with bullets. The original TV Guide ads for this episode suggest that guest star Clifton James had permanently joined the cast in the role of Sheriff Lester Crabbe, but this might have been a strategy by the series' producers to lure James Best--still boycotting the show because of what he regarded as hazardous working conditions--back into his familiar role as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane.
