When Rusty crosses a wooden bridge, he hits a bump, and his driver inspects the bridge, realising that it is in early stages of collapsing. Realising that it may soon be dangerous to cross, Rusty immediately hurries off to warn the engines. Arriving at the depot, where all the engines are getting their coal, he warns them about the bridge, but Duncan is skeptical, asking how Rusty would know, saying that he is only a diesel. He puffs away without waiting to be filled with coal. Rusty tells the Fat Controller about the bridge, and he agrees to send engineers to inspect it. After Rusty's driver puts up a sign reading "Line Closed," the engines have to travel a different route.

Meanwhile, Duncan is planning on getting more coal for the journey home, but the coal staithe is empty, so he asks Skarloey where he can find the nearest staithe. Skarloey tells him it is on the other side of the wooden bridge, warning Duncan not to cross it under Rusty's orders, but Duncan ignores his warnings, and he and his driver decide to face the risks. When Duncan arrives at the junction, his driver removes the warning sign, and they puff towards the bridge. Not knowing it is a mistake, Duncan runs out of steam, causing him to stop on the bridge, which then suddenly starts to crumble from Duncan's weight. Hearing the news from Skarloey, Rusty races off to rescue Duncan. He pulls him off the bridge, just before it finally collapses.

That evening, the Fat Controller scolds Duncan for his actions. Duncan thanks Rusty for saving him and being brave, and the Fat Controller praises him as a Really Useful Engine.
