At one point, the pair are seen staring proudly at the bed of the truck after successfully capturing Carpenter’s bound ex lover.

Carpenter does an outfit change for the scene as she duets with Parton in a ruffled gingham-print bathing suit and high-heels.

In another scene, the duo sit in the back of the truck and Parton helps light Carpenter’s cigarette.

The police eventually catch up with the glam criminals as Carpenter notices cop lights in her rear view mirror.

The video then flashes to a scene of Carpenter’s boyfriend, who has a sack over his head, writhing around in the back of the truck.

Parton, who takes over driving duties, floors it and the blonde beauties are able to evade capture.
