The calliope has broken down, and Casey Perkins arrives to fix it, although Big Tim has his doubts. Casey fixes it and then shows Corky his pride and joy: a complete railroad train from engine to caboose.
After a day with Casey, Corky returns to find a worried Big Tim. The bad weather has washed out the bridge so the circus is stuck. But Corky insists Casey can get them there. And although Casey's train hasn't run in years, he is willing to give it a try.
Does Casey and Old Number One save the day? Well there is a blocked track but what are elephants for if they can't clear trees and rocks. But some rails are needed. Can Pete, the Canvasman, turn circus people into gandy-dancers (track builders)? Then can the trestle bridge hold? Can the hand brakes be made to work to slow and stop the train? Will the old engine blow?
Casey Perkins saves the day!
