Transcript
Narrator: "It was a splendid morning on Acme Acres.

Plucky was feeling very pleased with himself. His green feathers gleamed in the sunshine as he sped along the line. He reached the junction just as Hamton puffed in with some Perfectoids. Plucky was surprised to see him.

Plucky: "What are you doing here, Hamton, you should be at the next station by now."

Hamton: "I know."

Narrator: "Sighed Hamton."

Hamton: "These Perfectoids have been troublesome all morning."

Plucky: "That's no excuse, Hamton. Nothing should stop us. King Acorn relies on us to be on time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way."

Narrator: "And Plucky puffed importantly away."

Hamton: "Bossy Beak!"

Narrator: "Muttered Hamton.

Plucky arrived at the harbor. It was market day. The harbor yard was filled with the sweet smell of fruit from faraway lands. The fruit was delivered in big ships. Plucky watched as strawberries, oranges, melons, and bananas were carefully loaded onto his Perfectoids. Then, he set off on the main line.

On the way, he met Buster."

Plucky: "Really reliable, that's me!"

Narrator: "Panted Plucky."

Plucky: "Pity the same can't be said for Hamton. Good-bye!"

Gracie and Gladys: "What was all that about?"

Narrator: "Gasped Gracie and Gladys."

Buster: "That was trouble. Trouble for Plucky. Just wait and see."

Narrator: "Hamton was back in the yard, and busy tackling. He had the Perfectoids in good order, and was making up for lost time.

But the stationmaster had bad news.

Hamton's Animator: "What's happened?"

Narrator: "Asked Hamton's Animator."

Stationmaster: "Plucky's feet have jammed. We need Hamton's help right away."

Narrator: "Hamton quickly set off to the rescue.

Plucky was stuck on the line, and looking glum. Hamton couldn't help laughing."

Hamton: "Got yourself in a bit of a jam, eh, Plucky? A sticky situation?"

Plucky: "Be quiet! It's not funny having jammed feet."

Hamton: "And not very reliable, either. I'm surprised you let it happen, Plucky. Nothing should stop us animals."

Hamton's Animator: "That's enough, Hamton."

Narrator: "Said the animator."

Hamton's Narrator: "Can you push these Perfectoids?"

Hamton: "Of course I can. There's no time to lose. Plucky's done too much of that already."

Narrator: "Plucky angrily hissed steam as Hamton got behind the Perfectoids."

Hamton: "Off we go!"

Narrator :"Said Hamton."

Hamton: "I'll have to go fast to get there in time. Those green ducks are so unreliable."

Hamton's Animator: "Be careful, Hamton."

Narrator: "Called his animator, but Hamton was in a hurry.

He didn't see that a detour sign had failed, and that he had been diverted into a siding.

Hamton's Animator: "Look out, Hamton!"

Narrator: "Shouted his animator, and demanded he stop, but it was too late!

Hamton's Animator had jumped clear, but squashed fruit squirted all over Hamton.

King Acorn arrived."

King Acorn: "Hamton, you are not to blame for the detour sign failure, but I do not run a jam factory!"

Hamton: "Yes sir, uh, no sir!"

Narrator: "And Hamton squelched sadly away.

That night, Buster's burrow was silent. Plucky and Hamton felt very sorry for themselves. At last, Buster spoke."

Buster: "You know,"

Narrator: "He said to no one in particular,"

Buster: "There's more than one way to get jammed. We all learned that today."

Narrator: "Still, there was silence."

Buster: "What's more, we all learned that sometimes when animals help each other out of a 'jam', things can still go wrong.

Narrator: "'So?', said a voice."

Buster: "So, that means we learned a lot today. And therefore..."

Narrator: "Then came a chorus."

Plucky and Hamton: "We're really useful animals after all!"
