One day, the Pack is working near Thomas' branch line. However, Max and Monty continuously mess around instead of working. They drive recklessly on the road next to the tracks and even cross the tracks in front of Thomas. Edward advises Thomas to ignore them completely.
When Max and Monty return to the dig site, Monty runs over a rock, where one of his tyres launches it at Oliver. This damages his arm, preventing him from working anymore. Thomas has to take Oliver to be repaired and is even more annoyed with Max and Monty as a result. They are taking some construction waste to the dump when they decide to save time by dumping it over the edge of a bridge, unaware that they are right above Thomas' branch line.
Later that day, Thomas is taking a repaired Oliver back to the dig site, but his track is blocked by a large pile of construction waste which has been built up from several of Max and Monty's loads. Thomas hits the pile and derails. That night, Oliver is digging up the pile of rubble while Judy and Jerome put Thomas back on the rails as Sir Topham Hatt watches. In the midst of all of this, Max and Monty dump another load into the pile. They are confronted by a policeman, who orders them to take all of the rubble to the waste dump before the morning.
Late into the night, Thomas is returning home when Max and Monty apologise to him. Thomas accepts their apology but insists that he will not be racing them again. As he leaves, Max and Monty decide to race to the dump with their last load, making dirt fly into Jack and Alfie's faces, much to their annoyance.
This episode contains examples of:
- Borrowed Catchphrase: The policeman is the one who tells Max and Monty that they've caused "confusion and delay" rather than Sir Topham Hatt.
- Death Glare: Thomas gives one to Max and Monty for damaging Oliver's arm.
- Just Ignore It: Edward advises Thomas to ignore Max and Monty, but that didn't go so well when they goaded him to race them. Then he decides to ignore them after the two recklessly crossed the tracks in front of him.
- What the Hell, Hero?: The policeman calls out Max and Monty for dumping construction waste over the bridge on the tracks.
