Lord Belborough's Secret
Dr. Mopp calls at the Chigley Pottery to buy a vase for his sister Millicent, and gets a demonstration of how a potter uses his wheel. Lord Belborough arrives in Bessie to collect a crate of pottery, and they go with him to Treddles wharf, where he picks up a mysterious crate. Dr. Mopp asks the Camberwick Green villagers if they know what is inside the crate. Mrs Honeyman suggests that it must be something to do with the six o'clock whistle at the biscuit factory, which proves to be correct. At 6.00 the workers leave the factory and Lord Belborough unveils to them a Dutch organ which plays the music for the six o'-clock dance.

Bessie To The Rescue
Farmer Bell makes his regular delivery of produce to the Chigley biscuit factory, and gets a tour of the factory from Mr Cresswell. They notice that a box of biscuits meant for delivery has been overlooked. As Trumpton is very congested at this time of day it is too late to take it by road to Wintelbury station, in time for the 5.23 train to London. Farmer Bell comes to the rescue by taking the box to the pottery where it is picked up by Lord Belborough in Bessie and taken to Treddles Wharf. Here it is transferred to Chippy Minton's truck which he drives off to Wintelbury. Mr Swallow then points out that as the timetable has recently been changed, the train doesn't leave until 5.43, and so they would have made it by road anyway !

Mr Cresswell asks Mr Farthing the Potter to make one. Lord Belborough picks up the block of stone from Treddles Wharf, Farmer Bell digs the foundations and Mr Clutterbuck builds the fountain's basin.

The Garden Wall
Mr Crockett delivers a lawnmower to Winkstead Hall, having just rebuilt the engine, and "sharpened her up". Lord Belborough starts the mower, which was still in gear, and it runs off and demolishes the garden wall and door. Lord Belborough phones Mr Clutterbuck the builder and asks him if he can rebuild the wall before the weekend, but Mr Clutterbuck is still awaiting delivery of a load of bricks, which are stuck at Treddles Wharf. Lord Belborough and Brackett steam of to the wharf in Bessie and collect the bricks. Bricklayers Cyril and Horrace are then able to rebuild the wall, while Chippy Minton and Nibbs make a new door. Mr Crockett repairs the mower, "using several completely new parts" and everything is ready in time for the six o'clock dance.

Binnie And Bessie
Roger Varley arrives at Winkstead Hall to help clean Bessie the steam engine and Binnie the pumping engine. Roger is cleaning Binnie when Brackett the butler comes in and says the water level in Winkstead Hall is very low. But the only way to pump the water is to burn the coal to get the pumping engine going, but there is no coal left. They ring up Mr Swallow at Treddles Wharf and ask for some coal. He tells them that they will have to pick it up. They set off in Bessie, pick up the coal at the wharf, and return to Winkstead Hall. With a new delivery of coal Binnie can pump again. The biscuit factory whistle blows and it is time for the six o'clock dance.

The Broken Bridge
Mr Carraway is delivering three boxes of plaice to the Chigley biscuit factory restaurant when PC McGarry turns up and tells them that the Chigley bridge is unsafe and closed to all traffic. This is bad news for Mr Cresswell as he has a delivery of biscuits to go out. Mr Carraway points out that the boys from Pippin Fort have a temporary bridge but it is kept at Treddles Wharf, which is on the other side of the river. A few phone calls later and Lord Belborough goes off in Bessie to collect it from the wharf and take it to the bridge. Unfortunately the soldier boys are still on the wrong side of the river, but with the help of Mr Dagenham and his helicopter they are picked up by rope, three at a time, and carried across the river to where they can assemble their temporary bridge. Mr Carraway has the dubious honour of being first to try out the bridge, and then they all go off to the six o'clock dance.
