What happens

Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (also known as Smokey and the Bandit III) is a 1983 American action comedy film and serves as a sequel to Smokey and the Bandit II (1980). The film is the third installment in the Smokey and the Bandit franchise and the final film of the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy, starring Jackie Gleason, Jerry Reed, Paul Williams, Pat McCormick, Mike Henry and Colleen Camp. The film also includes a cameo near the end by the original Bandit, Burt Reynolds. With one of the main titular characters missing, the plot of the film revolves instead around Sheriff Buford T. Justice ("Smokey"), with the presence of the Bandit merely being suggested through him being impersonated by Cledus Snow ("Snowman"). Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 was panned by critics and was a financial failure, grossing only $7 million against a $9 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
