Toot! Toot! Here comes Thomas the little blue engine and his friends, chuffing towards eight more exciting adventures with their storyteller friend Ringo Starr. One engine is up to his old tricks but a new one brings some novel pranks all of his own. Someone learns the hard way that it doesn't pay to insult an old engine. Faulty brakes make for a dramatic runaway rescue. Naughty trucks treat an engine to a dipping. But who is the new disdainful diesel who tells terrible tales with surprising results? And then, to top it all off, there is a disastrous visit to the barber.
