Plot
Unlike the Troublesome Trucks, Arthur likes to do things properly. One day, on the way to market, Arthur's trucks started to misbehave and sing loudly. Arthur orders them to stop, but when they reach the top of a hill, the trucks want to teach Arthur a lesson for being bossy. They pull Arthur down the hill and collide with the crossing gates. Fruit flies everywhere!
Later, as Arthur was having the squashed fruit cleaned from his funnel, Thomas pulled up. Arthur is worried that he has been naughty, but Thomas assures him that the accident was the trucks' fault.
