Thomas and the Troublesome Trucks is the ninth short of the Short Story Adventures series.
Plot[]
Thomas has to take the Troublesome Trucks to Harwick, but the trucks don't want to go, and make up several excuses to stop Thomas. However, after several failures with inspections from Carly and Sandy, the trucks give up and begrudgingly come along. When they get to a steep hill, the trucks see that Thomas's coupling is coming loose, but believing it to be another excuse Thomas ignores them when they try to tell him, and the trucks end up as runaways with Thomas in hot pursuit. The trucks exchange the blame before going up and stopping at the open Quickdraw Bridge, rolling back down and crashing into Thomas afterwards. Sandy and Carly then arrive to repair Thomas's coupling, and after a brief argument the trucks decide to avoid making excuses in the future.
