Spoilers ahead
Set in the fictional towns of Georgia, Bo Duke [Jonathan Bennett] and Luke Duke [Randy Wayne] are arrested for reckless driving and blowing up illegal fireworks, and they are paroled to their Uncle Jesse [Willie Nelson] in neighboring Hazzard County for a summer of hard work on the family farm. The Duke brothers are drawn into a clash with the crafty Boss Hogg [Christopher McDonald], who has a habit of bending the law to serve his own interests, and a sense that their family’s moonshine tradition may be the only way to keep the farm afloat. Jesse carries on the family trade, producing the county’s best moonshine, while the clock ticks toward foreclosure if the money doesn’t come in.
