Kevin Somers and Jono Gebert go into a library and Ruth Buzzi plays a librarian named Miss Shell who demnds them to be quiet while they talk loudly to one another and spot Marc Baillon sleeping at a table while both Lisa Ruddy and Christine McGlade are at the same table reading who finds them just as distracting. While both Kevin and Jono open a book whether its about the wildnerness or car chasing the books bring out that noise upsetting the people in the library and suddenly they open a book about World War II and chucks the books at her which causes the books to explode towards her as she persistently tells them to shush while being shot half to death.
Lisa goes into the library asking the head librarian (Played by Les Lye) if they have the volume's of books like Gone with the Wind and War & Peace as he's surprised that she is into classic books at an age like hers but later on tells her she only wants them so she can stand on them to reach for something at home.

Marc Baillon really wants to go to the concert with Christine McGlade and talks to Kevin and Jono about it but the two of them say they're going with her and gives them a dog leash telling him only a dog would go out with him but it gives him an idea since he found that Christine has a dog and gave her a leash as a gift so she kisses him as he thinks that he is wooing her so tries more ideas.
Ross tries to trick Kevin into buying his car for 50 dollars as it was only owned by a little old lady beforehand who rarely drove it but tells him he's too young to drive but Ross tries to convince him into buying it to get all the girls but he tells him he doesn't have trouble with girls and try to sell it to Marc.
Both Jono and Kevin ask at a different time to Christine to look into their eyes and what does she see in order to go to the concert with one of them and she acts sarcastic towards them.
Ross goes to Marc about buying his car telling him he can win a date with a girl since he has a hard time and the gas price is very good now but only has 50 dollars when Ross charges him 100 but Ross still accepts so Marc tries to win Christine over that way to go to the concert with her.

Jono brings back a stack of books at the library as the head librarian tells him that they're three months overdue and has a new penalty for bringing them in late as Miss Shell pies him in the face and later on sends him to Public Library Late Returns Department which is of course the dungeon with Kevin whom was also overdue with renting books there as she tortures the two of them.

So when he asks her she tells him he's got to be kidding but tells her that he has a new car so that changes her mind.
Kevin accepted a date from Lisa although she's too young for him he accepts so he won't have to pay for bus fare but finds out everyone else has a date. Lisa tells him they're going to be late and later on discovers that they're going to a classical concert and tries to back out.
Christine goes outside the studio with Marc and finds out that his car is a piece of junk and it barely drives while Kevin and Lisa go to her Daddy's car to the concert and then Jono brings out a gorgeous older blonde woman and takes her in his corvette with Kevin feeling bummed out.

Some memorable skits include Jono and Kevin in a dungeon as Kevin tells him that he can get out of the chains but then hangs himself upside down.

Ruth Buzzi's character as the old lady in the theatre asks Christine if she has a kleenex and when she offers her one she blows her nose in a very gross way and then hands it back to her as it's stuck to Christine's hand.

Marc asks Lois at the cafeteria what the special is for the day and tells him what it is in French when Marc finds out that it's rat tails sauted in rotted cabbage since the rest don't understand that language and are eating it.

This episode exists but it's a promo copy when CTV was putting the show together and along with the blank spots for the commercial breaks. It also doesn't feature music during the opening or closing credits, even before the commercial breaks and no sounds effects or canned laughter either which was put in later on. The shows in excellent quality and a special thanks to Jim Clarke for going to the CTV storage room to dig this one out.

Kevin introduced Max Webster this time instead of Christine since it was one of his favourite bands. Their song "Lip Service" was very different than most of the songs performed on this show. It also has a similar feel to a Frank Zappa song too.

Although it's unknown when this show aired in late 1979 it was probably one of the last one's with Marc Baillon since his voice was starting to crack and he was looking a bit more mature too.
