00:00Duck and Percy enjoy their work at the harbor, pulling and pushing cars full of cargo to and from the quay.
00:12But one morning, the engines were exhausted. The harbor was busier than ever.
00:25Sir Topham Hatt promised that another engine would be found to help them.
00:29Huh, it's about time, said Percy.
00:32I ache so much I can hardly get my wheels to move, agreed Duck.
00:36They waited for the engine to arrive.
00:41It came as a shock when he did.
00:44Good morning, squirmed Diesel in his oily voice.
00:48The two engines had not worked with Diesel for a long time.
00:52What are you doing here, gasped Duck?
00:55Your worthy Top, uh, Sir Topham Hatt sent me.
00:59I hope you are pleased to see me again.
01:02I am to shunt some dreadfully tiresome cars.
01:06Shunt where? said Percy suspiciously.
01:10Where? Why, from here to there, purred Diesel, and then again from there to here.
01:16Easy, isn't it?
01:17With that, Diesel, as if to make himself quite clear, bumped some cars hard.
01:23Oh! screamed the cars. Grrr! growled Diesel.
01:29Percy and Duck were horrified. They did not trust Diesel at all.
01:34They refused to work and would not leave their shed.
01:39Sir Topham Hatt was enjoying his tea and iced bun when the telephone rang.
01:44So there's trouble in the harbor yard? I'll be there right away.
01:49Diesel was working loudly and alone.
01:55Cargo lay on the quay. Ships and passengers were delayed.
02:02Everyone was complaining about Sir Topham Hatt's railway.
02:07Percy and Duck were sulking in their shed.
02:12What's all this? demanded Sir Topham Hatt.
02:15We're on strike, sir, said Percy nervously.
02:18Yes, added Duck. Beg pardon, sir, but we won't work with Diesel, sir.
02:26You said you sent him packing, sir.
02:29I have to give Diesel a second chance, replied Sir Topham Hatt.
02:33I'm trying to help you by bringing Diesel here.
02:36Now you must help me. He was the only engine available.
02:40Percy and Duck went sadly back to work.
02:46Next morning, things were no better.
02:49Diesel's driver had not put his brakes on properly and Diesel started to move.
02:53He went bump, straight into Percy.
02:59Wake up there, Percy, scowled Diesel. You have work to do.
03:04He didn't even say he was sorry to Percy.
03:08Later, Diesel bumped the car so hard that the loads went everywhere.
03:13What will Sir Topham Hatt say? gasped Percy.
03:17He won't like it, said Duck.
03:20So who's going to tell him, I wonder?
03:22Two goody-goody tattletales like you, I suppose?
03:27Percy and Duck did not want to be tattletales, so they said nothing.
03:31Diesel, thinking he could get away with his bad behavior, was ruder than ever.
03:36Next day, he was shunting freight cars full of china clay.
03:40He banged the cars hard into the buffers, but the buffers weren't secure.
03:46The silly cars were sunk.
03:51Sir Topham Hatt heard the news.
03:54The cars were hoisted safely from the sea, but the clay was lost.
03:59Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Diesel.
04:02The harbour master has told me everything.
04:05Things worked much better here before you arrived.
04:08I shall not be inviting you back.
04:10Now, Duck and Percy, I hope you won't mind having to handle the work by yourselves again.
04:15Oh, no, sir. Yes, please, sir, replied the engines.
04:19Whistling cheerfully, they puffed back to work while Diesel sulked slowly away.
