Here They Come...

Summary This season, the eight nominees for Canada's Worst Driver will be facing big city driving issues. Those eight are: Robert Cardenas who believes slower is always better, and who doesn't know how to drive quickly; Margherita Donato who is more concerned about her appearance than the fact that if she gets one more traffic ticket she will lose her license; Azim Kanji, whose stress behind the wheel compounds with every negative incident and which is manifested by his stress-induced alopecia; eighteen year old Klyne Postnikoff who is at the Centre to prove his nominator mother wrong that his reckless approach to driving is an issue; Dallas Sam, a nervous woman who always needs advice when she's driving; Kevin Simmons who does have a physical disability - a glass eye - which compounds his driving issues; Flora Wang, a non-confident woman which is not helped by her nominator husband who constantly barks orders at her and who often grabs the wheel while she's driving; and Diane Zbierski whose answer for her nervousness behind the wheel, especially on the highway, has been not to drive. Their first task is to drive the predetermined route with their nominator in the back seat (so as not to allow them to grab the wheel) from Niagara Falls, Ontario to the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre at Dunnville Airport. They are then subjected to an assessment drive, which includes a tight U-turn in a concrete-barriered course, a reverse section through both a straight and curved section, and a slalom which must be driven at at least 50kph. The eight then meet the expert panel for the first time, the panel who provide their initial assessment.

In the Diplomatic Service

In the Diplomatic Service

Dick Stansbury chooses a life of travel and pleasure rather than a more useful career. He returns from three years of foreign travel. His uncle, Major Blaine, interests him in a bold breach of ethics made by one of the foreign diplomats, Doctor Montell, but as yet nothing has been proved against the doctor, as he knows all the men in the Secret Service in Washington. Dick met him abroad, and Major Blaine persuades him to undertake the task of Doctor Montell's unmasking. Beverly Ryerson has a friend, an eccentric young authoress, Helen Wardlow, who is disgusted because, she says, there is no more originality in life. Beverly assures her that such is not the case. Dick, Beverly, Doctor Montell, Helen, Mrs. Ryerson, Beverly's step-mother, and her nephew, Lyna Hardi, who is loaning her money to pay her bridge debts, and who in return demands that she aid his cause with Beverly, are all at the Diplomats' Ball. Dick and Dr. Montell interest the girls and they induce Mrs. Ryerson to invite the men to a party at her country-house. Dick seizes the opportunity to ensnare the doctor in a plot that will prove his deceptions against the government. Dick has invented a "machine gun," supposed to fire a bomb that will burst anywhere within several hundred feet of an airship, asphyxiating the pilot and passengers with poisonous gas. He brings the model of the gun with him to the house-party, and takes care to talk about his invention where Montell can overhear him. He is soon approached by Montell with a proposition to deceive his own government, and sell the model to a foreign nation. Dick asks for time to consider the offer. Montell is determined to have the invention at once, and Hardi attempts to steal it for him, but is prevented by a Secret Service man. His reason for this move is that in trying to discredit big rival he has told Beverly that Dick is a traitor to his country. He has arranged for Beverly to overhear Dr. Montell and Dick talking about the invention. Though Dick has so far refused to sell, she fears he may succumb to the doctor's inducements, and to save him Beverly surreptitiously takes the model to her own room, though it is soon returned to Dick by one of his detectives. Montell and two accomplices then try to steal the model. Dick has been warned of their approach. He extends a wire from one of the house-lights to the model, and gets the janitor to operate a magneto at a signal. When the three malefactors step on a wet rug with the machine, they are held fast by the sudden shock of the electricity and caught by Dick. The ignominious recall of Dr. Montell by his own country is inevitable. Dick spares Hardi, since he has plotted against him only as a rival, not against him as a representative of the foreign government. In order to clear Beverly's mind of any possible doubt as to his loyalty to the nation, Dick next day asks her to accompany him to a junk dealer, to whom he offers his "wonderful invention." The junk-dealer finally consents to give him twenty-five cents for it. Out of sentiment, however, Beverly buys it back for $25. A happy denouement follows, and Helen, having found ample material for a plot, types busily away on her new story.
