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.

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 !
