Carnival Of Thrills (1)

When the Dukes attend a stunt show called "Carnival of Thrills," the star of the show is injured while trying to jump a car over 32 parked cars. Looking for a new star, carnival owner Diane Benson offers Bo the job. While Diane seduces a lovestruck Bo with her charms; Luke, Daisy and Uncle Jesse suspect something is amiss. Their fears are confirmed when an insurance investigator reveals that the earlier stunt show mishap—-along with several others—-was no accident. Luke tries to convince Bo of his findings, but Bo does not listen. This leads to a huge fight that results in Bo leaving the Duke farm, threatening further repercussions on the Duke family. Meanwhile, Boss Hogg can foreclose on the "Carnival of Thrills" if Diane can't pay back a loan she makes for use of the Hazzard County fairgrounds. Furthermore, Rosco manages to impound the General Lee for a taillight he busted; and, in an attempt to keep Bo from taking the stunt job, Luke allows the impounding to happen.

While Uncle Jesse and Daisy set out to clear their family's name, the criminals plot to double-cross Boss by taking more than their payment due on the trees, breaking into the safe while each one is dressed as Santa Claus. Meanwhile, Bo and Luke, with some help from Cooter, decide to take back the trees and have a little fun confusing Rosco and Cletus while delivering the trees dressed as Santa Clauses. In the end, the episode takes a turn toward forgiveness and fellowship as the Dukes and Cooter invite Rosco and Cletus to their Christmas Eve gathering.
