Plot

The Fat Controller is upset; that call could have been important. Then, he has an idea and boards Thomas' train to Wellsworth where he goes shopping. On his return, he shows Thomas his new mobile phone; now, he will never miss a call! Later, as Thomas returns to the Main Station, a suitcase topples off the baggage trolley and onto the line in front of Thomas, who has to pull up sharp; sending his passengers bouncing around his carriages. A startled Sir Topham steps out of his coach and is called away to a new freight customer. Soon, as Thomas, Annie, and Clarabel are being cleaned, they hear faint music. They were soon sparkling clean, when the Fat Controller returns - he has lost his mobile phone. Thomas tells him about the faint music they can hear which makes Sir Topham remember to check where he was sitting. Soon, Sir Topham Hatt has found his phone and had also solved the mystery of the faint music - it was his mobile ringing inside Clarabel!
