Boss Hogg was a corrupt politician and a main character. I don't remember much beyond that. But my memory is that the Duke Boys were escaping persecution from local state actors.

Side note: I was a little kid and my friends in pre-school thought the car could fly, which broke my brain when I couldn't articulate that it jumped.

And the Sheriff was in Hogg's pocket. Just a lackey.
