In history class, Ms. Maurice is about to continue teaching about World War II when Gordon Greenleaf asks why they even need to learn about it. She tells them that during WWII, there were Nazis in Winnipeg and she tells them the story of the Swastika Club, the Canadian Union of Fascists and Adrien Arcand. In a flashback, Adrien Arcand gives a speech to a small crowd of locals blaming Jewish people for their economic plights. He shows them a presentation board illustrated with cartoon beavers, espousing the deportation of Canadian Jewish people. The crowd leaves in disgust except for one person, Andronicus Arcane. Ms. Maurice continues that Andronicus and Adrien would join forces and harass immigrants. Eventually Adrien was arrested while Andronicus disappeared.
