Thomas and Duck work and play together because they are friends. But they do not like the Troublesome Trucks, because they are naughty. One day Thomas' freight train runs away and pushes Duck into a barber's shop. Sir Topham Hatt soon informs everyone that Duck is a hero and Harvey clears away the trucks.
