(The scene shows the Island of Sodor intro in CGI)

Narrator: The Island of Sodor... is surrounded by beautiful blue sea. It has fields of green and sandy yellow beaches. There are rivers... streams... and lots of trees where the birds sing. There are windmills... and a coal mine... and docks where visitors to the Island arrive.

(Annie and Clarabel are seen being pulled by Thomas as he is about to go under a tunnel)

Narrator: The Island also has lots and lots of railway lines. Who's that puffing down the track?

(Thomas toots)

(Thomas comes out of the tunnel. James and Gordon are seen on top of the tunnel)

Narrator: It's Thomas. Hello, Thomas.

(Thomas toots)

Thomas: Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Island of Sodor.

(Thomas puffs straight towards Edward and Emily on another bridge. Toby and Trevor are seen on the right)

(The logo zooms in)

Narrator: Thomas & Friends: The Secret of the Cave Treasure.

(Steam rises)

(Thomas is seen racing against Nia)

Narrator: One day, on the Island of Sodor... (Thomas and Nia toot) ...Thomas and Nia were racing against each other. They were racing to Vicarstown Station. Whoever got there first was to take a train of trucks to Maitwate.

Marlin: Faster, Thomas.

Dory: If you wanna win...

Nemo: ...you have to go faster.

Nia: I'm gonna eat your heart out, Thomas! (She puffs away)

Thomas: Oh, I don't think so, Nia! (He puffs away)

(Thomas and Nia chuckle)

Nia: Whoo.

(Thomas and Nia's wheels are seen moving fast. They are then seen approaching)

Dory: Give it up, Orange African Engine. This blue proportion is built for speed.

Thomas: Hey, the question is, Nia... do you know what I love?

Nia: What?

Thomas: I love the fact that you're a friendly loser!

(Thomas puffs into Vicarstown Station. He pants and then...)

Thomas: The little blue puffball is the winner! Whoo-hoo! I did it! Look at me!

(Nia pants)

Thomas: Hard lines, Nia.

(Nia breaths)

Nia: I'll win on the way back to your and Ashima's shed.

Luigi: Oh-ho. Well done-a, both of you. But, the winner is...

Guido: (Speaks Spanish)

Luigi: Thomas!

Dory: Yes! Come on!

Nemo: Get in there!

Luigi: And well done-a to the fish.

(Thomas gets coupled up to a long load of trucks)

Nia: (Chuckles) Good luck pulling those trucks, Thomas.

Thomas: I'll try and pull them. But... (struggling)...I can do this... by... my...self. (Toot toot toot)

Narrator: Thomas puffed away from Vicarstown Station with his long load of trucks.

Luigi: Be-a careful, Thomas-a!

Thomas: (Struggling) Uhhh! I... will... Luigi! Ahhh!

(Thomas puffs out of view with his trucks)

(The scene fades to Thomas coming towards a junction)

Narrator: Thomas puffed up to a junction. But, he didn't know which way was Maitwate.

(Dead fish are seen on a bush)

Dory: Hey, guys. We're looking for Maitwate. Oh. Good idea. Play dead.

Marlin: Dory, what are you doing?

Thomas: Hmm. I'll probably take the left track.

(Thomas puffs inconveniently down the wrong track. Dory is still playing dead)

Dory: Oh. Boy. I gotta bleak. How do they hold their eyes open that long?

(Thomas slams on his brakes hard)

Thomas: (Gasps)

Nemo: What's wrong, Thomas? Why did you slam your brakes on hard?

Thomas: (Whimpering) Th-there's a (hic) v-very h-high (hic) b-bridge th-there.

Nemo: Well, j-just go for it, then.

(Thomas gulps. His wheels move forward slowly)

Narrator: Wheel turn... by wheel turn... Thomas puffed slowly onto the high bridge.

Marlin: Huh. What does he mean by "high bridge"? (Gasps)

Marlin and Dory: Ahh!

Nemo: Th-that is h-high.

Thomas: I am brave and I am strong, but I'll get to Maitwate if it takes longer than Ashima can kiss me.

Narrator: He puffed bravely. Thomas was almost across the bridge. He heard a hard sound from some rocks. The bridge was starting to shudder and shake. Thomas didn't like it at all. But he had to be braver than Ashima and Nia. Then, Thomas heard a mighty crack!

(The bridge on the starting point starts to break)

Narrator: A piece of the bridge at square one broke.

Thomas: C-cinders and a-ashes (hic)!

Nemo: Thomas! Get to the other side!

Marlin and Dory: Quickly!

(Thomas's wheels move fast)

Narrator: Thomas pumped his pistons like no other! (Marlin and Dory close their eyes not bearing it) He just made it to the other side of the bridge with his fish friends and his trucks.

(The brakevan just stops on the other side of the bridge)

(Thomas pants)

Thomas: Wow. That was close.

(Nemo sighs with relief. He gasps)

Narrator: Just as the rest of the bridge collapsed behind them and fell into the cravasse.

(The bridge falls into the large cravasse)

Thomas: Oh. Bust my buffers.

(Thomas puffs away from the "what used to be" bridge)

Thomas: Oh. Another track. This time, leading to the mainline. (He notices something behind the tall bushes) Hmm. I wonder what's behind there.

(Thomas puffs into the bushes and then...)

Thomas: (Gasps)

Narrator: Then... Thomas gasped. He could not believe at what he saw. It was an old cave exit.

Thomas: Oh, my goodness. (Chuckles) What an inconvenient place to put this thing.

Narrator: Thomas was very intrigued and excited indeed.

Thomas: Oh. I've got to tell the others about this.

(Thomas puffs straight out of view. He is then seen on a bumpy track)

Narrator: Thomas biffoead his way along the old track. His news had to be spreadable to everyone.

(Thomas toots loud)

Narrator: He tooted as loud as he could.

Thomas: Now they could hear me. (He toots loudly)

Narrator: So, he tooted loudly again.

(A horn honks)

Narrator: Then... Thomas heard a familiar horn.

Thomas: That's gotta be Mater's horn.

(Mater is heard singing)

Narrator: Mater was surprised to see Thomas.

Mater: (Gasps) Well, hey there, Thomas.

Thomas: Mater, I just found an old cave exit. It's hidden in the woods.

Mater: Well, shoot. I've gotta tell everyone else about this.

Narrator: So, Mater told Lightning McQueen... who told Luigi and Guido... who told Nia... who told the Teletubbies... who told Pingu... who told Ashima who inconviently rushed off to find Thomas.
