00:00...
00:30From Muncie to Muncie.
00:31Yeah !
00:32Tom, what have you done to the Thunderbolt greaselapper ?
00:35Converted her to a racing locomotive, Madigal.
00:38Bertie Growler's going to be my fireman.
00:40Oh, dear.
00:41Doesn't the old girl look great ?
00:43Thanks, Tom boy.
00:44He wasn't complimenting you, Bertie.
00:46I know, hon. At my age, I gotta take him where I can get him.
00:50All aboard for Flower Terminal.
00:53Mount Blancport.
00:54And there they go.
00:56Mount Blancport, Roquefort, Amarok, Lollipop.
01:01Now the locomotives are headed for the first obstacle.
01:04The traditional bottleneck at the other end of the Muncie freight yard.
01:09Who will emerge from this year's catastrophe ?
01:12Taking the lead is that cutthroat competitor
01:14and well-known sore loser,
01:16Lionel Switchback de Fort, in the Ram Steam Boil Bomber.
01:21Gardner, I shall win today or else.
01:23Else what, girl ?
01:24I shall throw a terrible tantrum.
01:26Close behind Switchback is Caswell Co-father
01:29and his flatbed turbo-bird.
01:31Followed by Carruthers Co-tippy
01:33in the Chrome Dome Rod Buster.
01:36But wait, just emerging from the pileup
01:38is that all-around good fellow
01:39and defender of the American right-of-way,
01:42Tom Slick.
01:43Yeah !
01:45Keep the steam up, dirty. I've lost 20 pounds.
01:47I've lost about 10 myself.
01:49It looks like anybody's race.
01:52Why are we stopping, Gov ?
01:54It's time for the part of the race I like best.
01:57Testing your skill against worthy competition ?
01:59No. Cheating.
02:01Uh-oh.
02:03Lionel Switchback has just placed a bright red cap on the tracks.
02:06It is an old railway superstition
02:09that a cap on the tracks means bad luck.
02:12Especially if it's a dynamite cap.
02:15Oh, that's terrible.
02:16Oh, I don't know.
02:18Lots of people travel by air these days.
02:20In different directions ?
02:22I'm feeling Lionel Switchback is still in the lead.
02:25But Carruthers Co-tippy is coming up fast.
02:27He's approaching Wind Loser drawbridge at blinding speed.
02:31But wait, that drawbridge is going up.
02:34I know an opening when I see one.
02:36It looks as if Carruthers Co-tippy
02:38will have to drop out of the race.
02:39There must be another way to say that.
02:43Beautiful music.
02:46All that stands between ill-mannered Lionel Switchback
02:49and victory is Tom Slick.
02:51Yeah !
02:52More steam, Gertie, more steam.
02:54More steam, more steam.
02:56You sure you're not pressing pants on the side ?
02:59Don't be silly, Gertie. You press pants on the front.
03:03A little laughter lightens the mood.
03:04Especially if you're steering and not shoveling.
03:08Quick, Crabney. My oil paints in a brush.
03:11Never seen a bloke get so much clean fun
03:12out of being a dirty rat.
03:14Tadadadadadada !
03:17There we are. A masterpiece.
03:20What depth, what realism.
03:22What a cake.
03:24A tunnel just ahead, Gertie.
03:26It's all the same to me.
03:27I can't look at this scenery anyway.
03:35Tom Slick is in the lead.
03:37Yeah !
03:38He's into the midway roundhouse.
03:40He's swinging the thunderbolt grease slap
03:42around the turntable.
03:44He's on the last leg.
03:45He's not the only one, Bobby.
03:47We'll never catch up with him, Gov.
03:49We don't have to.
03:50We're in front of him already.
03:52What's that ?
03:53Watch.
03:57Gov, you're as sneaky as they make him.
03:59Flattery will get you anywhere, Crabney.
04:02Well, it appears that Lionel Switchback
04:04has pulled another fasty.
04:05Somehow he is ahead of Tom Slick on the return run.
04:08I'd better keep a sharp eye out, Gertie.
04:10One of the contestants in this race is a cheater.
04:12And I don't think it's me.
04:14Well, don't look at me.
04:15Thank you, Gertie.
04:16Now, what's the meanest thing I could do to him ?
04:19Of course !
04:20Why didn't I think of it sooner ?
04:25A secret compartment is opening
04:27in the side of the Rams team oil bomber.
04:29And slowly emerging is...
04:31Gertie, it's Marigold.
04:32Funny, it looks like coal.
04:34Marigold is on the tracks.
04:36Old Gertie is on the skids.
04:37What can we do ?
04:39We could stop.
04:40And forfeit the race ?
04:42Sorry.
04:43Never mind me, Tom.
04:44Go on and win.
04:46She's a dead game sport, isn't she ?
04:48If she isn't, she will be shortly.
04:50There's only one slim chance, Gertie.
04:52Come on, we're going to climb out on the side of the cab.
04:55What fantastic beat is Tom Slick up to now.
04:58Uh-oh, he is tilting the Thunderbolt 3 slacker off balance.
05:02He's got her up on one set of wheels.
05:05Marigold is safe.
05:08How thoughtful of you, Tom Slick.
05:10All we have to do is set this time bomb
05:14and drop it on the tracks behind us.
05:15What time does your watch say ?
05:17Exactly 10.14, Gov.
05:22Of course, I might be a minute or so off.
05:26And the winner is...
05:27Tom Slick !
05:31Congratulations, Tom.
05:33Part of the credit goes to Gertie, you know.
05:35And I have something for you, Gertie.
05:37Lay it on me, Tom boy.
05:39Here it is, your very own personalized coal shovel.
