Engines on Sodor likes to help each other, doing their jobs and being really useful. Stanley was in the yards shunting, seeming to realize he is very good at it. Arthur arrives and Stanley asks him if he can help other engines. So he sets off to find other engines to help.

He comes across Gordon and askes if he needs help with the express, but Gordon thinks that it's silly to get help from a tank engine, so he puffs away. Then Stanley puffs away to find other engines until he saw James. He asks that if he needs help but he said no and he puffs away. Stanley thinking someone needs help puffs away too.

Arthur found Stanley and told him that he can help Edward so Stanley journey's off to find Edward. He found Edward pushing stone cars and Stanley asked if he needed help and he said yes. So after James had passed, Edward went up Gordon's Hill while Stanley waited to help, which he ran up the hill to give Edward a push with his train. After Edward made it to the top of the hill he said "Thanks Stanley" and he continued on his way. Stanley, who was happy to help rolled back down the hill, back to the yard.

When he got there he asked Arthur is he needed help with anything, but Arthur didn't have any trains and when Percy came up Stanley also asked him if he needed help but he didn't either. Stanley thought he never find another engine to help but Arthur said that he will. Then Alex came up and asked if he could help with his passenger train, because he needs to go to the Steamworkes for his boiler to be cheaked. Stanley was happy to help, he collected the train and headed of, feeling good that he helped Alex. He saw Arthur and he told him that he was helping Alex. Arthur told Stanley that he would find an engine to help sooner or later and turns out he was right. Stanley thought that it was nice to help engines when he was not in the yards.
