Percy tells Mavis not to use Toby's line, and says that she will be a useful engine if she doesn't use it. Mavis wanted an excuse to use it, so Mavis asked her driver if they could go as far as the level crossing, but the next day Mavis had a plan, she told the cars to bump her when she got to the level crossing, Mavis left, but Toby decided to shunt the cars instead. The freight cars decided to shunt Toby, but after they did, he headed straight for a broken bridge, the bridge broke, and Toby was hanging by a thread. Soon, Mavis came and was horrified to see Toby dangling on the bridge, she took away the cars, and then hooked up to Toby, and pulled him to safety. Mavis said sorry to Toby and then told Sir Top Ham hatt what really happened. She asked him if she could go down Toby's line sometimes, Sir Top Ham hat had it arranged, and Mavis was as happy as can be.

Review

This episode was a sequel to the last one, and is how Toby and Mavis become good friends. I enjoyed the episode, but how they got Toby to stay on the bridge is a mystery, they must have used strings or some kind of white cord that no one can see. I like Mavis' them song in both these episodes. 

Over all I give this episode a 9/10
