Plot
One day, Toby had finished all his jobs early and decided to spend the rest of the day at the farm. As he was leaving, Sir Topham Hatt gave him another job; to help Cranky unload cargo at the docks. Toby liked to be useful, but now he wouldn't be able to visit the farm. Toby decides that he should ask his friend Salty for help, but Salty is just leaving with a piston rod.
