Escorting a witness across the border to Canada becomes one wild ride, as the Canadian Mafia gets involved, and Ray loses his most prized possession.

Detailed Overview

Fraser is assigned the job of escorting a pathological liar back to Canada to face, not surprisingly, perjury charges.

Unfortunately Ian MacDonald's uncanny ability to cause trouble renders only one route possible -- Ray's car. So Ray, Fraser, Diefenbaker and Ian hit the road for what Ray feels confident will be an easy run. But it seems that a certain trio from north of the border are not too anxious to have Ian tell the truth. Like all Canadians, they're polite, well groomed and respectful. But unlike most Canadians, these three are killers.

When our heroes narrowly avoid being killed in a wild shoot out at a roadside diner, they take to the back roads to avoid their pursuers. But things turn from bad to worse as Ray's car becomes stuck in the mud and Fraser and Ray free it only to have it stolen by Ian. Covered in mud and freezing in the middle of nowhere, Fraser and Ray must deduce where Ian would have gone and get there before the bad guy's do. Regrettably, the bad guys have two advantages over Fraser and Ray: firstly, they have attached a tracking device to Ray's car and secondly, they don't have to hitch-hike.

When Fraser and Ray do track Ian down just moments before the bad guys arrive, a show-down ensues; one which can only be resolved by the sacrifice of Ray's beloved car. Only in this way can they bring Ian back to Canada to face the surprising truth.
