* Billy Ray proves he can do the commodities game by using his own street smarts to determine how the price of a certain commodity will drop or not. He saves Duke and Duke a fortune, much to the two brothers' astonishment.

Added DiffLines:

* Louis and Billy Ray's revenge scheme is both ruthless and brilliant in its planning.
** While impersonating Beeks, Billy Ray gives them a falsified crop report that claims the price of orange juice will actually rise due to the cold winter, which causes the Dukes to buy a ton of the crop.
** Louis and Billy Ray, knowing the price will drop, sell their futures short. They refuse to sell any to the Dukes' trader, preventing the Dukes from minimizing the damage.
** By the end, Billy Ray and Louis are loaded and the Dukes are completely bankrupt. Their final swipe at the Dukes is the cherry on top.
-->'''Louis''': Happy New Year!
-->'''Randolph''': Winthorpe.
-->'''Mortimer''': Valentine.
-->'''Billy Ray''': ''(to the astonished Dukes)'' Hey! How'd y'all make out today?
-->'''Mortimer''': How could you do this to us after everything we've done for you?
-->'''Billy Ray''': Oh, see, I made Louis a bet here! See, Louis bet me that we couldn't both get rich and put y'all in the poor house at the same time. He didn't think we could do it. I won.
-->'''Louis''': I lost. $1! ''(Produces a one dollar bill and hands it to Billy Ray)''
-->'''Billy Ray''': Thank you, Louis.
