Signalman Squirrel realises that he has been left the wrong groceries. The next day Mr Bear realises that a train is five minutes early and rushes to the signal box.

He explains to Mr Bear that thanks to the wrong groceries being delivered he discovered Kellogg's Corn Flakes - the 30 second breakfast, which got him to work in plenty of time.
