The Eighteenth Doyle of Louis Napoleon

As soon as news spread  that a megalomaniacal former premier had claimed for himself the long moribund Newfoundland crown and had subsequently proclaimed himself The Honourable Protector and Saviour of Newfoundland the Doyles quarantined themselves in their super-secret bunker.

The Doyles, being an old Newfoundland family that predated even the days of Dominion status, were not going to stand for such a state of affairs.

With Walter acting as a messenger and lieutenant (pronounced the American way to increase the show's chances of syndication) the Doyles begin to muster their troops.  Doyles from all across the province, and even a few from Ontario, make their way to St. John's where they will receive their directions from Jake and Field Marshall Mal.

In the concluding scene, the Battle of Confederation Hill, the Doyle forces overthrow the pretender to the crown.  As thanks for their salvation, the people of Newfoundland crown Jake and Mal joint Honourable Protectors and Saviours of Newfoundland.  They also agree to create the Royal Order of the Doyles to honour those Doyle who fought for the freedom of all Newfoundlanders.
