Thanks to Norman's trickery, Moose falls down a ravine and gets stuck between two rocks. Meanwhile, Elvis is determined to lose his job so that Penny won't.

He'll be there to help you.
So move aside and make
way for the Fireman Sam.
Because he's gonna save
the day, Fireman Sam.
Because he's brave to the core,
Sam is the hero next door.
STATION OFFICER STEELE:
Well, what do you think?
FIREMAN SAM: Oh, yes, that
is really magnificent.
It's a gift for Chief
Fire Officer Boyce.
It's his 25th anniversary
in the fire service.
The photo seems a bit
too big for the frame, sir.
I'm sure it'll fit.
I'm not sure it will.
Oh, dear.
Well, there's only
one thing for it then.
It's no good, Sam.
We can't keep everyone.
Cuts have to be made.
Cuts have to be made.
Oh, no.
I'm going to have
to get rid of someone.
Oh, yes.
But which one is it going
to be, Elvis or Penny?
Elvis or Penny?
This is terrible, Raider.
I don't want to go, but I don't
want Penny to lose her job.
She's my friend.
But Station Officer Steele
said to one of us has to go.
Well, if that's
the case, I'm going
to do everything I can to
make sure he gets rid of me
and keeps Penny.
This is going
to be so exciting.
Hey kids, welcome to
Moose's Dinosaur Adventure.
I love dinosaurs.
Now today we're
gonna be trekking
up the mountain looking for
fossils like this one here.
What?
Fossils, who wants to
collect boring old fossils.
I thought we were going to be
collecting huge dinosaur bones
and building a massive
great dinosaur skeleton.
Sorry, Norman, but fossils
are very exciting to eh.
This little rock contains
the fossil of a tiny fern.
Not exactly a
tyrannosaurus rex.
True, but some
fossils are very rare,
and some can be worth
an awful lot of money.
Very rare you say.
A lot of money, you say.
OK, everyone.
Let's move her and
keep your eyes peeled.
Out of the way you lot.
Important fossil
hunter coming through.
Where's that tea, Cridlington?
You promised it to me ages ago.
Coming right up,
Station Officer Steele.
Oh, nothing like a nice,
refreshing cup of tea.
[GASP] That's disgusting.
It tastes horrible.
Oh, dear.
I think you accidentally
put salt in Station Officer
Steele's tea instead of sugar.
It wasn't an accident, Sam.
I did it for a laugh.
[LAUGH]
Cridlington.
Here's one.
Very nice, Sarah.
Looks like some kind of insect.
I've got one too.
That looks like a
fossilised feather.
How about this thing?
That-- that's just a
shrivelled up piece of pork pie
left over from someone's picnic.
Yep, well, I still
have more fossils
than all you lot together.
Look here.
Very nice, Norman, but how are
you going to carry them home?
OK, kids, we'll stop
here and have our lunch.
Great.
I'm really hungry.
Oh, how am I going to
carry all my fossil back?
They're so heavy.
Maybe I don't
have to carry them.
I can't believe Cridlington.
My lovely cup of tea
was completely ruined.
It was only salt, sir.
Only, only, it
tasted horrible.
And to make matters worse, he
thought it was all a big joke.
I'm sure Elvis
didn't mean any harm.
Well, I've sent him down
towards Jupiter and Venus.
That'll wipe the
smile off his face.
[GUITAR] What the blazes?
Elvis.
Cridlington!
Elvis, what are you doing?
Turn it down.
I'm playing my guitar.
Washing Jupiter and
Venus is boring.
Stop that infernal racket.
Elvis, that is quite enough.
The boy's gone dulilly.
My nerves are in shreds, and
this red eyes are in tatters.
Elvis, if you
carry on like this,
you're going to lose your job.
OK, fossil hunters,
lunch is over.
Let's get going.
Whoa.
What the grizzlies?
I'm fine.
No need to-- woah!
Moose!
Moose, are you all right?
Yeah, I think so, but
I can't seem to move.
I'm stuck between a
rock and another rock.
Hey, don't worry.
I have my walkie talkie.
Oh, no.
I hope my fossils aren't broken.
We need to get help.
How about granddad?
He can call uncle Sam.
It's OK moose.
We're getting help.
Now what's this
about your fossils.
Jim, Sarah, what
a lovely surprise.
There's been an accident.
Moose has fallen
down a ravine and is
stuck between two big rocks.
Oh, dear.
Stay calm.
No need to panic.
I'll call Fireman Sam.
Oh, I just don't know what's
got into Cridlington today.
Now he's gone and
hidden my helmet.
It's almost as if he
wants to lose his job.
Moose Roberts has
fallen down a ravine,
and he's stuck
between two big rocks.
I'll call Tom.
Come on, Penny.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Don't worry, Moose.
We'll soon have
you out of there.
Tom, send down the
double harness.
Righty-O Sam.
It's on it's way.
OK, Tom.
Lower me into the gully.
Come on, Moose.
Let's get you out of here.
It's no good.
I'm stuck fast.
Hang on a minute.
It's not you that's stuck.
It's your rucksack.
This should do the trick.
Thanks, Sam.
Nice job.
Wait, but all my
precious fossils.
You've left them down
there in Moose's rucksack.
All went well I hear.
Sam was a real hero.
Not really, Penny.
I was just doing my job.
Well, I've sorted out
my problem with the photo.
Bought myself a bigger frame.
Now I won't need
to make any cuts.
No cuts?
Yes, Cridlington.
Nobody needs to be
cut out of the photo.
The photo?
Oh, I thought you were going
to get rid of me or Penny.
What?
That's why I've been trying
to lose my job so that penny
wouldn't have to leave.
Ah, now I understand
why you've been
getting into so much trouble.
Oh, Elvis, what a
lovely thing to do.
Sam may have been a hero
today, but you're a hero too.
Oh.
Well, I'm glad
that's all sorted out.
Maybe I can have
my helmet back now.
Yes.
I mean no.
I mean sorry sir.
I've forgotten where
I've hidden it.
[THEME MUSIC]
