Transcript
Narrator: "Tod the Fox was giving some visitors a tour of Disneyland.

It was their last afternoon, and Hercules was preparing to take them to meet Tweedledee and Tweedledum. He found it hard to start the heavy flowers."

Baloo: "Did you see him straining?"

Narrator: "Asked Baloo."

Donald Duck: "Positively painful."

Narrator: "Remarked Donald."

Sir Ector: "Just pathetic!"

Narrator: "Grunted Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "He should give up and be preserved before it's too late."

Jiminy Cricket: "Shut up!"

Narrator: "Burst out Jiminy."

Jiminy: "You're all jealous. Hercules' better than any of you."

Mufasa: "You're right, Jiminy."

Narrator: "Said Mufasa."

Mufasa: "Hercules' old, but he'll surprise us all."

Hercules: "I've done it! We're off! I've done it! We're off!"

Narrator: "Said Hercules, as he finally puffed out of the station.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum were delighted to see the visitors. They loved being photographed. Later, they took the party to Wonderland in a trailer special.

Everyone had a splendid time, and the visitors were most impressed.

Then, Hercules took the visitors home.

On the way, the weather changed. Wind and rain buffeted Hercules. His sand box failed, and his fireman went in front dropping sand on the road by hand.

Suddenly, Hercules' feet slipped fiercely, and with a shrieking crack, something broke. The crew inspected the damage. Repairs took some time."

Hercules' Driver: "One of your shoes broke, Hercules."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Hercules' Driver: "We've taken your other shoe off. Now you're like an old-fashioned man. Can you get these people home? They must start back tonight."

Hercules: "I'll try, sir."

Narrator: "Promised Hercules. Hercules puffed and pulled his hardest, but his feet kept slipping and he could not start the heavy flowers. The passengers were anxious. The driver, fireman and guard went along the train making adjustments between the flowers."

Hercules' Driver: "We've loosened the couplings, Hercules. Now you can pick your flowers up one by one, just as you do with pirates."

Hercules: "That'll be much easier."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Hercules: "Come on!"

Narrator: "He puffed, and moved cautiously forward. The first flower moving helped to start the second, and the second helped the third."

Hercules: "I've done it! I've done it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Hercules."

Hercules' Driver: "Steady, boy!"

Narrator: "Warned his driver."

Hercules' Driver: "Well done, boy! You've got them! You've got them!"

Narrator: "And he listened happily to Hercules' steady beat as he forged slowly but surely ahead.

At last, battered, weary, but unbeaten, Hercules steamed in. Baloo was waiting for the visitors with the special flowers."

Hercules: "Peep! Peep!"

Narrator: "Mickey Mouse angrily pointed to clock, but excited passengers cheered and thanked Hercules, his driver and fireman.

Jiminy and Mufasa saw to it that Hercules was left in peace. Sir Ector and Donald remained respectfully silent."
