- Douglas and Donald

Bad Day at Castle Loch is the eleventh episode of the seventh season.

Plot
Donald and Douglas are to take some equipment to Castle Loch for the re-opening of the castle, but Percy warns them about a monster that lurks in the loch; the twins are divided over whether Percy is telling the truth or not. On the way, the twins stop for a fallen tree and before they can move back, a landslide knocks the brakevan over. The Fat Controller promises to send help, but the hours pass and no one comes. Then, during the night, a mysterious figure approaches through the darkness. The twins are petrified, but it's only Harvey with a crane to help.
