Transcript

Blair of the Mounties. We present episode 32 in the Dematix series, Blair of the Mounties. Although the character names in the following story are entirely fictional, the story itself is largely founded on historical fact.

A story of long-delayed justice. Officially it is one of the few cases in which Inspector Blair failed to bring the author of a crime to justice. And yet strangely enough, a case in which the final outcome brought him no regret.
