In the end, Bo and Luke discover the rustlers' hideout and decide to take down the operation by distracting them. They use their famous 1969 Dodge Charger named "General Lee" to lead the rustlers' cattle truck on a wild goose chase, ultimately leading them right to the Sheriff's department where the rustlers are finally caught.
