The Robbery at the Canada Western - Part 1

Blair of the Mounties, the story of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We present the 19th episode in Blair of the Mounted Police. Inspector Blair's old friend Angus McGregor, one time Hudson's Bay Factor at Fort McAllister, is now retired from service and is living in Vancouver.

I'm sure you're the most inquisitive old humberg I ever knew. Oh, well, here goes. You remember the old Canada Western bank in Winnipeg? I, I mind that wheel. On Porte, Germany. That's it. I was stationed in Winnipeg then.
