In the conclusion of a two-part story, Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat), still operating undercover for the Feds, continue to race the General Lee under the banner of crooked promoter J.J. Carver (Ramon Bieri). The good news is that the Duke boys have managed to gather enough evidence to put Carver behind bars for a long time. The bad news is that Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and Sheriff Roscoe (James Best), unaware of what the Dukes are up to and hoping to get the good on Carver themselves, succeed only in blowing Bo and Luke's cover at the worst possible moment! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the first episode of a two-part story, Daisy (Catherine Bach) and Jesse (Denver Pyle) are astonished--a not a little disgusted--when Luke (Tom Wopat) and Bo (John Schneider) accept an offer from Mary Beth Carver (Lydia Cornell) to return to the NASCAR circuit. After all, Mary Beth's promoter father J.J. Carver (Ramon Bieri) is a mob-connected crook, and the Duke boys had previously vowed never to work for him again. What no one but Luke, Bo and the viewer knows is that the boys are working undercover on behalf of some Federal agents, who hope to get the goods on Carver and put him away for life--assuming, of course, that the Dukes will live long enough to see this happen! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process. Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif in depicting the story line's many murders is dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface; instead, we are inundated with blood by the bucketful, especially in the now-infamous buzz saw scene. One carry-over from the original Scarface is Tony Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). The screenplay for the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver Stone. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Forcibly retired from NASCAR, driver Molly Hargrove (Andra Akers) offers Daisy (Catherine Bach) a job on the racetrack circuit. Having long envied her auto-happy cousins Luke (Tom Wopat) and Bo (John Schneider), Daisy is thrilled at the prospect of getting behind the wheel of Molly's souped-up car. But Daisy wouldn't be so thrilled if she knew that Molly has mortgaged her car to Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke)--who in turn has hired a couple of thugs to make sure Daisy won't win an upcoming race! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
