* ChekhovsGun: Before Percy shoves the trucks into the mine, the narrator mentions a canvas barrier used to protect his line from loose rocks. This is exactly what saves Percy from the avalanche ensuing later.

Percy is exhausted, but the other engines are quite unsympathetic. After a long, arduous day of collecting freight from all over the island, Percy returns to Tidmouth Sheds very dirty, much to the amusement of the others. Despite this, the Fat Controller praises Percy for his work and tells him to get some rest.
The next day, Percy travels to the coal mine and is asked to help dislodge some trucks stuck on a piece of mining equipment at the mine shaft entrance. Percy gives them a good shove to get them moving, but he pushes the trucks too hard. The trucks break away and run uncontrollably down into the mine, eventually derailing on a curve and taking out a support beam, which triggers a cave-in and then an avalanche. The evacuation alarm goes out, and Percy rushes away as the ground beneath his track starts to give out.
With the line behind him already buried in rock, Percy takes refuge underneath a canvas barrier just before it gets buried by rubble itself. He and his crew are safe, but the miners fear the worst and rush to dig them out. As a reward, Percy is sent to be repainted, something he definitely doesn't mind being put upon him.
!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* ButtMonkey: Percy becomes the butt of jokes to the other engines after realizing how overworked he is. However, they soon felt sorry for him after the mine accident.
* TheFreelanceShameSquad: Pretty much how the other engines treated Percy. Even Annie and Clarabel take shots at him in the beginning of the episode:
-->"Percy's been put upon, put upon, put upon. Percy's been put upon, poor ol' Percy."
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Percy bumps the trucks too hard, causing them to crash into the support beam which lead to the mine collapsing.
* NoSympathy: Percy receives this from everyone but Sir Topham Hatt, but after the incident with the mine, they were all sorry for teasing him.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Duck also joins in teasing Percy.
* SoProudOfYou: The Fat Controller to Percy, once after his "put-upon" day and again after the mine collapse.
