[male narrator] "Two Wheels Good."

One day, Spencer had a very important job.

He was taking the duke and duchess to Callan Castle

for Lord Callan'’s birthday ball.

The duke was giving a speech

and bringing Lord Callan a very special gift.

Did you remember the present, dear?

Yes, yes. I have it right here.

Hello, Spencer.

Hello, sir.

Now, remember, Spencer,

I want to arrive at Callan Castle in good time.

I'’m giving a very important speech.

Don'’t worry, sir.

I won'’t let you down.

Thank you, Spencer.

[whistle blows]

[steam hissing]

[whistle toots]

[train engine chugging]

[narrator] Spencer hurried along the tracks towards Callan Castle.

[Duke] Yes, indeed...

To see you all gathered on this beautiful occasion.

A great honor for my wife...

[narrator] Spencer'’s first stop would be Knapford Station.

[horn honks]

[horn honking]

Hello, Bertie.

Hello, Thomas. [bell dinging]

[narrator] Mr. Percival had come to Knapford on his bicycle

to have a meeting with Sir Topham Hatt.

Hello, there. [chuckles]

You'’re not still riding that old thing, are you?

You should get a car like mine.

I prefer my bike, thank you.

What I always say is,

"Two wheels are best."

[chuckling]

Did you hear that, Thomas?

That'’s not true.

Everybody knows that four wheels are best.

How can four wheels be better than six wheels?

[whistle toots]

What nonsense.

It'’s so obvious that wheels are the best.

No, no, no.

Four wheels.

Six wheels!

Twenty wheels.

[Duke] Uh, Spencer,

if you carry on chatting,

we'’re going to be late for my important date

at Callan Castle.

Sorry, sir, I'’ll get you there in time...

on my trusty wheels.

[chuckles]

[whistle toots]

[whistle blows]

[whistle toots]

[horn honks]

[narrator] Spencer was speeding along, confident as can be.

[sheep bleating]

But then there was trouble.

[train engine slowing]

I don'’t believe it.

[steam hissing]

Spencer! What was that?

I'’m sorry, sir,

but I think my valve gear has snapped.

How am I going to get to Callan Castle on time now?

We, dear. We.

[whistle toots]

What'’s wrong, Spencer?

Have your trusty wheels let you down already?

That'’s not funny, Thomas.

I have to get the duke and duchess to Callan Castle.

Well, I can take them.

Oh, really?

That would be most kind, Thomas.

Come on, dear.

Oh, this is such fun.

How exciting!

We are carrying a duke and a duchess, Clarabel.

[whistle toots]

Six wheels to the rescue.

Next stop: Callan Castle.

[train engine chugging]

[Thomas] Goodbye, Spencer.

[train engine chugging]

[sighs]

[giggling]

[train engine chugging]

Oh, no!

[wheels screeching]

[both yelp]

[wheels screeching]

Phew. That was close.

Now what?

Sorry, sir.

There'’s a fallen tree on the tracks.

[sighs] This just isn'’t my day, is it?

I'’m afraid we might be stuck here for quite some time.

But I must get to the castle.

My speech!

Darling.

I mean, our speech.

[horn honking]

Hello again, Thomas.

What'’s up?

There'’s a tree on the line, Bertie.

And I'’m supposed to be taking the duke and duchess

to Callan Castle.

I can take them by road.

[gasps] That would be delightful.

Come along, dear.

What?

But...

What an adorable little bus.

Oh, thank you, ma'’am.

Please step aboard.

As I said, Thomas,

"Four wheels are best."

[chuckles]

[horn honks]

[sighs]

[narrator] Poor Thomas was going nowhere.

But at least the duke and duchess

would get to the castle on time.

[bell dinging]

[horn honking]

[train engine chugging]

[giggling]

[narrator] But then, there was more trouble.

[tire pops]

[tires screeching]

Oh, no!

[both yelping]

[howling]

I don'’t believe it!

What'’s happened this time?

Flat tire, sir.

I'’m really sorry.

But that'’s it, then.

We'’re simply not going to get there in time for my speech.

[bell dinging]

Oh, what'’s happened here, then?

Mr. Percival.

Your Grace.

We need to get to get to Callan Castle,

but I don'’t think we'’re gonna make it.

Bertie has a flat tire.

Don'’t despair.

I'’ll get you there.

Oh. [laughs]

What a charming little bicycle.

I haven'’t ridden one for some years.

I suppose I could sit on the handlebars.

No, no, no.

You wait here while I go for help.

It'’s like I always say,

"Two wheels to the rescue!"

[door creaks]

Hello, hello?

Sodor Search and Rescue Center, we need help.

[helicopter blades whirring]

Oh, my.

Hop on, Your Graces.

I'’ll get you to Callan Castle.

[cows lowing]

Oh, Lord Callan!

What an arrival.

But where'’s Spencer?

I'’ll tell you all about it over dinner.

Thank you, Harold.

My pleasure, Your Grace.

[Spencer] How embarrassing, breaking down like that.

But at least your valve gear'’s been fixed now, Spencer.

And my flat tire'’s been mended, too.

After all that,

I still don'’t know how many wheels are best.

[Sir Topham Hatt] Whoa. Whoa.

[chuckling]

It is quite fun, actually, on two wheels.

[chuckles] Oh, but, ah... I still think I prefer my car!

-[grunts] -[crashing]

Ouch.

[both] Ooh!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Ohh...

Ooh.

[helicopter blades whirring]

Well, it was Harold who finally saved the day.

And he didn'’t use any wheels.

[laughs]
