One summer morning, the engines prepare for the Vicar's annual garden party. Harold wishes he could go to the party, but he has to patrol the island. His job is to look for engines in need of help. As he does so, the engines travel across the island with their loads for the party. Percy arrives at Maithwaite Station with furniture and decorations for the party, as well as reminders. When he tells the people at Maithwaite Station to come to the party, Harold overhears. He thanks Percy for the invitation, but tells him he's too busy to attend.

When Harold lands at his airfield to refuel, he sees Pegasus, the cart horse who lives in a field nearby. Pegasus was getting ready to give children rides at the party, and was dressed in a shiny leather harness which was attached to a freshly-painted cart. Harold becomes envious of Pegasus, and wishes more than ever before that he could go to the party. Thomas arrives with Annie and Clarabel, who are full of passengers. When Harold sees him, he asks him where he's going. Thomas tells him he's going to the Vicar's party, as that's where everyone's going. Harold tells him that he's the only one who isn't going, as he's busy with his island patrol. Thomas tells Harold that he understands, as being a rescue helicopter is a very important job. As Thomas leaves, Harold tells him that nobody needs to be rescued today.

When Harold continues his patrol of the island, his pilot gets an urgent call from Sir Topham Hatt. At Dryaw Station, Sir Topham Hatt tells Harold that Pegasus is stuck in a ditch, and that the children will be disappointed if he doesn't get to the party. He orders Harold to rescue Pegasus at once. Harold tells Sir Topham Hatt that he's ready for action, and flies away to rescue Pegasus. Nearby, Percy says that Pegasus is a funny name for a horse. Sir Topham Hatt tells him that Pegasus is the name of a flying horse in a very old story. Percy tells Sir Topham Hatt that horses can't fly, then he leaves for the party.

Meanwhile, Harold flies up to the ditch where Pegasus fell. Thomas is nearby, with Pegasus' cart on a flatbed. Harold asks Thomas what happened, and Thomas tells him that as he and his crew were loading the cart, Pegasus wandered into a ditch and now he's stuck in it. Thomas tells Harold that if he can take Pegasus to the party, he will take the cart. Harold tells Thomas that he'll put Pegasus into his sling, and Thomas tells him to hurry, as the party could start at any minute. Thomas rushes off to the party as Harold's pilot loads Pegasus into Harold's sling. Harold gently lifts Pegasus out of the ditch and carries him across the fields.

When Percy sees Pegasus flying through the sky, he is amazed. He believes that horses can fly after all. The children cheer for Harold as he carries Pegasus to the party. When they arrive, Pegasus is hitched up to the cart and the party begins. The party is a big success and the children have a wonderful time. Harold himself was the happiest of all, because he stayed on duty and got to have fun at the party with his friends.
