Câu chuyện về chiếc xe bị đánh cắp.

Tháng trước, xe của John đã bị đánh cắp ở Toronto. Cửa sổ phía trước đã bị kẻ trộm đập vỡ, và chiếc xe được điều khiển ra khỏi thành phố. Nó đã được giữ trong một khu đất bị bỏ hoang trong một tuần. Cuối cùng, cửa sổ đã được sửa chữa và nó được bán trên thị trường chợ đen cho một đại lý ô tô đã qua sử dụng. Chẳng mấy chốc, nó được một thanh niên lái xe đi miền Tây thăm gia đình mua lại. Ở Alberta, người thanh niên đã bị tông vì chạy quá tốc độ. Chiếc xe bị cảnh sát thu giữ vì biển số cho thấy nó đã bị đánh cắp. Cuối cùng chiếc xe đã được trả lại cho John. Anh ấy không thể tin được tất cả những điều điên rồ đã xảy ra với chiếc xe của mình.
