A pair of jewel thieves causes a big ruckus in Hazzard County after they steal the General Lee. Rosco's basset hound, Flash, also gets in on matters when the dog retrieves the stolen jewel stash and hides them in his master's car.
Tropes present in this episode:
- George Jetson Job Security: One of several times where Boss fires Rosco using those words ... however this time, the bumbling sheriff is cruelly, unceremoniously, unmercifully and unjustly let go.
- Insignia Rip-Off Ritual: Boss is so angry that Rosco didn't tell him about the jewels (Rosco was trying to hold them for evidence, but the greedy Boss wants to turn them in to the FBI himself to collect a $500,000 reward) that he fires him on the spot ... vigorously tearing the sheriff's uniform to shreds in the process.
- Kangaroo Court: When he is hastily fired after Boss sees him with the stolen diamonds, Rosco demands that he be given a fair chance to explain himself. Boss obliges but he cuts Rosco off before he has an opportunity to explain how he came upon the stash.
- Manly Tears: Another emotional moment for Rosco, as he realizes he is out of a job.
