00:00Duck and Percy enjoy their work at the harbor, pulling and pushing cars full of cargo to and from the quay.
00:12One morning, the engines were exhausted.
00:16The harbor was busier than ever.
00:25So Topham had promised that another engine would be found to help them.
00:30It's about time, said Percy.
00:33I ache so much I can hardly get my wheels to move, agreed Duck.
00:37They waited for the engine to arrive.
00:41It came as a shock what he did.
00:45Good morning, squirmed Diesel in his oily voice.
00:49The two engines had not worked with Diesel for a long time.
00:53What are you doing here? gasped Duck.
00:55Your worthy top, uh, Sir Topham had 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.
01:09Where?
01:10Why, from here to there, heard Diesel.
01:13And then again, from there to here.
01:16Easy, isn't it?
01:18With that, Diesel, as if to make himself quite clear, bumped some cars hard.
01:22Oh!
01:24Screamed the cars.
01:26Grrrr!
01:27Growled Diesel.
01:29Percy and Duck were horrified.
01:32They did not trust Diesel at all.
01:34They reduced to work and would not leave their shed.
01:36Sir Topham Hatt was enjoying his tea and iced fun when the telephone rang.
01:44So there's trouble in the harbor yard?
01:47I'll be there right away.
01:49Diesel was working loudly and alone.
01:53Cargo lay on the key.
01:57Ships and passengers were delayed.
02:03Everyone was complaining about Sir Topham Hatt's railway.
02:08Percy and Duck were sulking in their shed.
02:13What's all this? demanded Sir Topham Hatt.
02:17We're on strike, sir, said Percy nervously.
02:20Yes, added Duck.
02:22Beg pardon, sir, but we won't work with Diesel, sir.
02:27You said you sent him packing, sir.
02:30I have to give Diesel a second chance, replies Sir Topham Hatt.
02:34I'm trying to help you by bringing Diesel here.
02:37Now you must help me.
02:39He was the only engine available.
02:41Percy 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.
02:54He went bop, straight into Percy.
02:57Wake up there, Percy, scowled Diesel.
03:02You 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?
03:23Two goody-goody tattletales like you, I suppose?
03:28Percy and Duck did not want to be tattletales, so they said nothing.
03:32Diesel, 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.
03:43But the buffers weren't secure.
03:46The silly cars were sunk.
03:51Sir Topham Hatt heard the news.
03:53The cars were hoisted safely from the sea, but the clay was lost.
03:59Sir Topham Hatt spoke severely to Diesel.
04:03The harbormaster has told me everything.
04:06Things work much better here before you arrive.
04:09I shall not be inviting you back.
04:11Now, 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.
04:20Listening carefully, they puffed back to work while Diesel thawed slowly away.
