On October 31, 1926, Toronto lawyer and millionaire Charles Vance Millar died suddenly of a heart attack. He left behind no wife, no children, and no close heirs. What he did leave behind was one of the strangest wills ever written. Within a decade, Millar's final wishes would trigger lawsuits, newspaper frenzies, moral outrage, and a bizarre competition among Toronto mothers that became known around the country as the Great Stork Derby.
