Joe Laski has run out of pig food and has asked Joshua Jones to bring him a new load on the 'Delilah'. In the meantime, Wilton Cashmore has just installed a new burglar alarm and when he tries it out for the first time, he can't shut it off. Joe's tractor won't start and now has to use a pram to get the pig food up to the farm. Joshua Jones brings up a story about a robber named 'Mad Jack' and about how his ghost visits Joe's barn once a year. The children decide to stay the night to try and catch him.
It's fruit picking season down at the lock cottage. Admirable Karia has a problem because he can't reach the plums up in the tree. He asks Ravi to help him but he was too busy. Wilton Cashmore is working hard in preparation of Mr. Biggott's Annual Presentation Dinner. Wilton is writing his speech for the occasion. A package arrives for him and he's so pleased. It turns out to be a new briefcase. He places the speech inside the briefcase. Later on when he gets a call from Mr. Biggott he goes to read him the opening paragraph of the speech, but he can't remember the code to get it open.
It's a busy day for Wilton Cashmore. He has a lot of papers to sort out for his boss and not all that much time do so. Spanner has just finished re-painting Sharon's cafe and they are going on a picnic, Joshua Jones and Ravi are shipping some rubbish on the Delilah and Fiona is over helping Daphne at the vetrinary clinic. When a strong wind suddenly comes, the rubbish that Spanner and Sharon have left behind gets blown away, some of Wilton Cashmore's paper gets blown away and Josh loses some of his rubbish as well. In the end everything turns out all right, except that Sharon's cafe has become a magnet to a load of rubbish!
