S01E10 Trouble With The Crane

At Treddle's Wharf, Mr. Rumpling is tasked with unloading a crate for Lord Belborough and collecting a crate of scrap metal from Farmer Bell. While he attempts to lift the crate, the crane malfunctions, sending what everyone assumes is Lord Belborough's valuable antique books plunging into the canal. The soldier boys are summoned, and Private Armitage, the best swimmer, bravely jumps in to retrieve it. However, due to a prior mix-up, they discover that the crate actually contains Farmer Bell's scrap metal, which is completely unharmed by its dip in the water.
