The show was relatively simple, but fun plots centered around their various scrapes with the local sheriff and a corrupt local kingpin named Boss Hogg, a longtime archenemy of their family.
Catherine Bach portrayed Daisy Duke, the Duke boys’ cousin who worked at a local bar.
She tended to get involved in the middle of their shenanigans, and she looked good doing it; the short cutoff shorts she wore on the show sparked the daisy dukes shorts craze that is still popular today in various parts of Southern rural culture.
You won’t believe what she looks like today!
