St. Boniface Vikings (Part 1)

Marva Lynn Vs. The Monorail

A town meeting is immediately held so that the citizens can decide how to spend the money, and Marva Lynn suggests using it to fix up Main Street, which is in extremely poor condition. Her brother Waldemar was against it and he tried to convince the town to not do it; however, the town assume Waldemar was trying encourage to spend it on Main Street, and is about to vote for it when suddenly a smooth-talking stranger named Lyle Lanley suggests that the town buy a new monorail, making his pitch in a song which convinces the town to buy the monorail.

While Lanley wins over the residents of Springfield, Marva Lynn and Lisa are the only ones skeptical of him with the belief he is a con-artist. Marva Lynn is irritated with the town's purchase of the monorail deeming it too dangerous and still believes that they should have used the money properly to give Main Street a big makeover.

While watching TV, Nolan sees an advertisement that suggests he become a monorail conductor. Claiming it to be a lifelong dream, Nolan signs up for the monorail conductor training course. After a decidedly un-intensive three weeks of training, Nolan is named the monorail conductor. In bed, Marva Lynn tries to voice her suspicion about Lanley to Nolan. She is ignored by him, claiming that her plans to restore Main Street was a bad idea in general. This prompts Marva Lynn to find out more about Lanley to prove to Nolan she was right about her concerns with the monorail.

While he shows the kids inside the monorail for the next day, Lisa is still wary and voices her concerns. She mentions she had to trick Lanley into believing that she is won over by the monorail, but she's still skeptical and believes Marva Lynn may have been right the whole time. Nolan and Kevin try to quell Lisa's concerns about the monorail; however, she still feels suspicious and uneasy about the whole thing.

Lisa is not the only one who feels that way, as Marva Lynn is fed up with the town's lack of understanding of the dangers involved and decides to take matters into her own hands. She decides to pay Lyle Lanley a visit at his office to question him about his motives and discovers a notebook. Opening it, she learns Lanley's true intentions: to have the monorail break down and leave St. Boniface in ruins, while he gets away with the town's money in a plane trip to Tahiti. Closing the notebook, this confirms what she and Lisa suspected the whole time about Lanley being a con-artist with a lack of concern for anyone but himself. He catches Marva Lynn and questions her about her reasons. She quickly comes up with a convincing alibi that lets him suspect she knows nothing. Lanley allows Marva Lynn to leave, unaware that she has read the notebook and is aware of his plans.

At the maiden voyage of the monorail, the entire town turns out, including celebrities such as Lynn Otter Smith, Karl's wife. Lisa refuses to step inside and tries to stop Lanley from leaving by convincing him to jump in the monorail. He refuses by grabbing his money and jumps in a taxi, which takes him to the airport.

When the monorail runs smoothly, but faster, but the hugest rock made by Paul, Grady, Ed, Fran, Bill, Mick, Roy, Fred, Karl and Milt, decided to stop the monorail, crashes and survived.

All survived the monorail accident, but the Monorail decided to shut down for good.
