Thomas and Rosie are shunting when Thomas invents a game that involves splashing engines by racing through puddles. Sir Topham Hatt tells Thomas to have a washdown before collecting himself and Alicia Botti. On the way, Thomas tries his "Splish, Splash, Splosh" game on the other engines and accidentally ruins James and Emily's loads. Thomas splashes through the biggest puddle yet, but only succeeds in putting his fire out and covering Miss Botti and Sir Topham Hatt with muddy water. Rosie rescues him and he offers to finish James and Emily's jobs so that they can go to the concert. At the concert, Rosie wants another game of "Splish, Splash, Splosh", but Thomas decides that he has had enough of that game.

!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* AllWorkVsAllPlay: Thomas was seemingly interested in playing with puddles more than work.
* AnAesop: Don't put off something important just to have fun, it's important to stay on task.
* MustMakeAmends: To make up for splashing James and Emily's loads, Thomas decides to do both of their jobs so they can see the concert.
* OnlyOneFindsItFun: Charlie was the only engine who enjoyed being splashed with mud; justified, because he didn't have anything with him at the time.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: James, [[TheDandy who always loves his shiny red paintwork]], didn't seem to be worried about being splashed by Thomas.
* RhymesOnADime: "Splish, splash, splosh! I'll soon need a wash!"
* RuleOfThree: Charlie likes Thomas' game, but not Emily and James. Turns into a Rule of Four when he accidentally splashes Sir Topham Hatt and Alicia Botti.
