It seems Anne is destined to cultivate disaster. She becomes "bosom" friends with Diana Barry (Schuyler Grant) from across the pond and succeeds in getting Diana drunk by accidentally serving currant wine instead of raspberry cordial, at a tea party. Diana's mother (Rosemary Radcliffe) and the dour townsfolk turn on Marilla for making the wine in the first place. Hence Anne moves from one mishap to the next as her wild imagination and far-fetched antics combine to constantly bring trouble onto her shoulders.
