00:00Thomas the Tank Engine was ill. Workmen had tried to make him better, but it was no use.
00:06Edward must take you to the works, said the Fat Controller.
00:14Thomas felt very miserable.
00:19Then the Fat Controller spoke to Duck.
00:21I want you to help Percy and Toby while Thomas is away.
00:26Duck was delighted.
00:30He already knew Percy and soon made friends with Toby and Bertie.
00:35Terence the Tractor gave him a big welcome too.
00:40Take care of Thomas' coaches, he advised. He's sure to miss them while he's away.
00:48Duck was very gentle with the coaches.
00:52Annie and Clarabel were impressed.
00:55Such nice manners, they told each other. It really is a pleasure to go out with him.
01:16When Thomas came back, Annie and Clarabel told him how well Duck had managed.
01:21Thomas was so pleased to be home that he soon forgot to be jealous.
01:26The works had left Thomas' handbrake very stiff.
01:30It made his brakes seem as if they were hard on, when in fact they were not.
01:42As a result, he and his coaches often overran the platform.
01:47Thomas found this most embarrassing.
01:50Gradually, his driver and fireman learned to be extra careful.
01:55But one day, Thomas' fireman was ill and a relief man took his place.
02:06The fireman had fastened the coupling and joined the driver and stationmaster on the platform to wait for Henry's passengers.
02:15The fireman had forgotten all about Thomas' handbrake.
02:19Thomas simmered happily.
02:22Not long now, he thought, as he saw Henry slowly approaching.
02:27But Thomas' brakes were not hard on, and suddenly he felt his wheels begin to move.
02:33He tried to stop, but he couldn't without his driver and fireman.
02:38He tried to whistle a warning, but he couldn't.
02:41The guard, driver, fireman and passengers were all stranded on the platform.
02:47Stop! Stop! shrieked Danny and Claravelle.
02:51Thomas, with plenty of steam, kept on going.
02:55The alarm went out down the line.
02:57Stop the runaway!
02:59There, ready for action, was Harold the Helicopter.
03:05The inspector was on his way.
03:08The inspector had made a plan, and together they took off into the sky.
03:27At last Thomas was tiring.
03:29I need to stop! I need to stop! he panted wearily.
03:33As they neared the next station, Thomas saw Harold land.
03:43They entered the platform slowly enough for the inspector to act.
03:49Judging his moment, the inspector scrambled into the cab and screwed the brake hard on.
03:56At last Thomas stopped.
03:58Both he and the inspector were very relieved.
04:01Then they thanked Harold.
04:03Think nothing of it.
04:05Well, Harold, glad to be of service any time.
04:09Phew, remarked the inspector.
04:11We must never let this happen again, Thomas.
04:14Wearily, Thomas agreed with him.
04:19The next day, the inspector and the firemen arrived at the station.
04:23Thomas agreed with him.
