A Bollywood action movie is being filmed on the Indian Railway. Thomas is told that they have a very important role for him, but it is only to transport the lead actor, not to be in the film. However, he finds that it is fun and he can be really useful working behind the scenes, and later he gets a chance to be in the movie after all.
