Put Upon Percy

"Percy's been put upon, put upon, put upon, Percy's been put upon. Poor old Percy! "Percy is being put upon. I am, I am, I am!"

- Annie, Clarabel, and Percy

Put Upon Percy is the ninth episode of the fifth season.

Plot
One day, Percy puffs into the yards, feeling "put upon". He tells Thomas, who is at first confused as to what Percy means, but believes it is a silly saying. However, Annie and Clarabel sing about it. Later that day, he is sent to collect metal from the foundry, coal from the yards, flour from the mills, rocks from the quarries, and fuel from the depot, and has to deliver all of it to the Docks. After, he collects empty trucks, who tease him about being dirty and want Thomas or Duck instead; Percy just ignores them. When he returns to the sheds, Percy is exhausted, but the other engines are quite unsympathetic towards him and laugh at him. However, Sir Topham Hatt tells Percy to get a good night's rest, as he has done a good day's work.

The next day, Percy brings some trucks to the coal mine, and when he gets to the mineshaft, the foreman tells him some Troublesome Trucks have become stuck on a piece of mining equipment and Percy is asked to give them a good push to get them moving again. Percy puffs back to a large canvas barrier, which is used to protect the track from loose rocks, and charges the trucks. However, he pushes the trucks too hard. The runaway trucks break free, but they disappear into the mine. They soon derail and crash into a support beam, causing the mine to collapse. The mine is evacuated, but Percy is too late to get to safety and has to make a run for it. Unfortunately, the shaking causes a rockslide, and the track Percy is on begins to crumble. However, he remembers the canvas barrier and takes refuge underneath it just before it is buried under the rubble.

Percy and his crew are okay, but the miners don't realize that, and they immediately set for a rescue. Thomas and Duck arrive with the Breakdown Train to free him, after which Sir Topham Hatt rewards Percy to be cleaned and repainted at the works. After he returns, Thomas apologizes that he was teased, and remarks that Percy was certainly put upon by the rockslide. Percy agrees, but smiles at his new paint, and states he doesn't mind that being put upon him.

 * In the scenes where Annie and Clarabel tease Percy and when Percy shunts back to the canvas barrier, music is heard in the US and international narrations; this is absent in the UK narration.
 * Annie and Clarabel's song about Percy is a different tune between the US and UK versions.
