Plot[]
Sir Topham Hatt is trying to explain to Paxton that he did not start the Munitions incident and that it was only General Zen. To cheer him up, Sir Topham Hatt sends him off to work at Blue Mountain Quarry again. He was happy until Skarloey tells him Duke is in charge of the quarry. Duke isn't too fond of Paxton.
Meanwhile, Rusty is trying to get engines to appreciate his two-toned whistle. They tell him they are busy and that he should be too. Eventually, Bertram stops for a listen. Sir Handel and Duke arrive. Duke is appalled when he finds out Paxton is near the blasting site, so he sets off.
Paxton is shunting trucks when Duke arrives. Duke scared Paxton off. Thumper scolds him. Then, Vegard and Weaver, The Thin Controller's university buddies, arrive. They hope to speak with the Thin Controller, who hasn't spoken to them since the Munitions incident. Duke tells them to leave as they have firearms.
Rusty and Sir Handel realize Paxton has left but Duke hasn't, so Sir Handel sets off to find him.

The next day, Duke starts his paces while Weaver and Rick Shay try to visit Duke and Sir Handel to apologize. Paxton arrives with Vegard. He is mad after there misadventure. Rusty arrived, and blew his horn, shocking Vegard and causing him to misfire. Duke's crew jumped, sending Duke through the wall. Victor tells them they should explain their actions to the police.
