The engines are asked to take some deliveries for a harvest festival and fireworks, but Thomas is put in charge of taking a new bulb to the lighthouse on the other side of the island. Thomas is asked to go slow and steady as going too fast could cause the bulb to break, but his excitement of wanting to go to the festival gets the better of him.

* BittersweetEnding: Thomas misses the fireworks, and the entire festival, but he got to see something even better: the lighthouse light shining.
* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: The engines are getting ready for the harvest festival celebration, and Thomas is tasked with delivering a new light bulb to the lighthouse by nightfall so that ships at sea can find their way to Sodor safely. Sir Topham Hatt advises Thomas to go slowly since the bulb is very fragile. At first, Thomas goes slowly and carefully, but when he sees his friends getting ready for the party, he becomes more and more excited and goes faster and faster, eventually breaking the bulb when he crashes into a barrier. Thomas goes back to the warehouse and collects a new bulb, being much more careful with it [[BittersweetEnding despite knowing that he will miss the party if he does]].
