Transcript
Narrator: "One day, Donald had to wait at the station till Hercules and his flowers came in. This made him cross."

Donald Duck: "Late again!"

Narrator: "Hercules laughed, and Donald fumed away.

After Donald had finished his work, he went back to the yard and puffed onto the turntable. He was still feeling very bad tempered."

Donald Duck: "Hercules is impossible."

Narrator: "He grumbled to the others."

Donald Duck: "He clanks about like a lot of old iron, and he is so slow he makes us wait!"

Narrator: "Pongo and Piglet were indignant."

Piglet: "Old iron? Slow?"

Pongo: "Why, Hercules could beat you in a race any day!"

Donald Duck: "Really?"

Narrator: "Said Donald."

Donald Duck: "I should like to see him do it!"

Narrator: "Next morning, Donald's driver was suddenly taken ill. He could hardly stand, so the fireman unhooked Donald ready for shunting. Donald was impatient."

Suddenly, the signalman shouted. There was Donald running away down the road."

Signalman: "All traffic halted!"

Narrator: "He announced at last. Then he told the fireman what had happened."

Signalman: "Two boys were standing nearby Donald fiddling with him."

Donald Duck's Fireman: "Phew!"

Signalman: "They ran off when Donald started."

(Phone rings)

Narrator: "The signalman answered the telephone."

Signalman: "Yes. He's here. Right. I'll tell him.

The inspector's coming at once. He wants a shunter's pole and a coil of wire rope."

Donald Duck's Fireman: "What for?"

Narrator: "Wondered the fireman."

Signalman: "Search me! But you'd better get them quickly."

Narrator: "The fireman was ready when Hercules arrived. The inspector saw the pole and the rope."

Inspector: "Good man. Jump on."

Hercules: "We'll catch him, we'll catch him."

Narrator: "Said Hercules. Donald was laughing."

Donald Duck: "What a lark! What a lark!"

Narrator: "He chuckled to himself.

Suddenly he was going faster and faster. He realized that he had no driver."

Donald Duck: "What shall I do? I can't stop! Help! Help!"

Hercules: "We're coming! We're coming!"

Narrator: "Called Hercules.

Hercules was panting up behind with every once of strength he had. At last he caught up with Donald."

Hercules' Driver: "Steady, Hercules!"

Narrator: "Called his driver. The inspector stood in front of Hercules, holding a noose of rope in the crook of the shunter's pole. He was trying to slip it over Donald. The Disney Characters swayed and lurched.

At last!"

Inspector: "Got him!"

Narrator: "He shouted. He pulled the noose tight. Gently braking, Hercules' driver checked the man's speed, and Donald's fireman scrambled across and took control."

Hercules: "So the old iron caught you after all."

Narrator: "Chuckled Hercules."

Donald Duck: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Whispered Donald."

Donald Duck: "Thank you for saving me. You were splendid, Hercules."

Hercules: "That's all right."

Narrator: "Replied Hercules. The Disney Characters arrived at the station side by side. Mickey Mouse was waiting."

Mickey Mouse: "A fine piece of work."

Narrator: "He said."

Mickey Mouse: "Donald, you can rest and then take your load. I'm proud of you, Hercules. You shall go to the hospital and have your worn parts healed."

Hercules: "Oh, thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Hercules: "It'll be lovely not to clank."
