Show detail Hide detail

TRAILER PARK BOYS is a short comedic production shot in a faux-documentary style. The show follows the lives of its two main characters, Ricky and Julian, in their lives at the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. In this episode the boys are pretty excited. The dope is ready to harvest and J-Roc and DVS have presented them with a plan to sell it at a Snoop Dogg concert in Moncton. All the guys have to do now is harvest their weed, put it in a truck and deliver it. There's been a minor setback though - Cory and Trevor stole the wrong kind of truck. They accidentally stole a propane truck, so now the boys have to empty and sell all the propane first before they can transport the marijuana. While the boys are busy selling propane, Barb Lahey pays a visit to her ex-husband and his partner. Much to Randy's chagrin, Barb seems a bit sentimental and talks about the good old days, when she and Jim were married. She even asks Jim if he still has her old wedding ring and tells him she'd like it back. Mr. Lahey assumes that Barb wants them to get back together. Meanwhile, the boys want to make sure that there are no complications when they transport the dope. To be sure that the propane truck is legal, they steal some old license plates from Ray. Barb comes by and Julian tells her they'll soon have the money to buy the park; she's pleased. The boys then arrange for Bubbles to take his rig-driving test because they need a driver with a license to drive the truck. Mr. Lahey, still thinking Barb wants him back, tells Randy he has a plan - Lahey will get back together with Barb so he can reassert his control of the park and get rid of Ricky. But Mr. Lahey still wants to see Randy on the side. Randy really doesn't like the plan. Bubbles fails his driving test due to his poor eyesight. He's very upset but Ricky lies and tells Julian that Bubbles passed. Ricky can get Bubbles a fake license. Mr. Lahey proposes to Barb and she shuts him down. Not only will she not marry Mr. Lahey, but she plans to marry Ricky! And as if that weren't bad enough - and it was - she wants Mr. Lahey to step down as supervisor in two weeks. Naturally, Jim does not take this news well. Lahey returns home just in time to see Randy leave him - Randy can't handle the idea of Lahey going back to Barb. Lahey goes off the deep end. Meanwhile, Barb proposes to a stoned Ricky who seems confused by what's going on. He doesn't know how to respond. Later, the brakes on his car don't work and he almost crashes it. Ricky is convinced someone's trying to kill him but Julian says he's just paranoid. Ricky tells the guys about the proposal and they seem dubious. But Sara announces to Julian and Bubbles that she heard about the proposal so now she's decided to marry Cory and Trevor. That's pretty weird, and yet it's topped by what happens next. Mr. Lahey arrives, totally insane, singing and urinating himself, demanding propane. When he leaves, Julian and Bubbles hear a report on the radio that all but one of their dope fields have been discovered by the police. Ricky is making supper at Barb's but the deep fryer is acting up and he's almost electrocuted. Just then Barb smells propane and goes outside to investigate. Julian and Bubbles run up looking for Ricky just as a flaming arrow flies through the air and into the trailer. Then there's a huge explosion and the trailer blows up! <23mn 25s>
