    • Trivia
      This train trip was called travelling to Moose Jaw Canada as they couldn't pronounce the province Saskatchewan nor would the audience know where that is. This is why they called it Moose Jaw Canada.

    A Great 2 Part Episode
    A fine whodunnit. Not exactly what I was expecting from Laverne & Shirley.

    No spoilers here. .....but these two episodes, IMHO, are among the best in the series. Every now and then I dust off the DVD's and watch these episodes. Always makes me laugh.

    A classic!
