The Railway Cat
Jack Robinson arrives on the train station after Jim Graves and Tom capture a young man, Charlie Gruff, who was caught stealing from Eileen Fitzapatrick. He persuades Mrs. Fitzapatrick to let Charlie go without pressing charges, and takes the boy back to the station along with his cat, Furry Purry Beancat.

Charlie enjoys some tea and biscuits, Jack is able to get him to explain how he was working for another man. Before they get too far, Mrs. Fitzapatrick returns with Constable Franklin, and Charlie is ultimately arrested for theft.

Soon, Jack's granddaughter, Polly Robinson arrives at the station and they return to the home, where his wife, Martha Robinson, fixes up tea for everyone, including Polly's pet cockatoo Yorkie and a crow named Caw. Mr. Robinson and Beancat later return to the station, where they hear from Barnes that Major Fitzapatrick wishes to speak with him. Jack learns that some dynamite has gone missing, and is told to be vigilant.

Later, Polly is taken to hospital for a broken ankle after she and Beancat locate the dynamite on a train track, and Jack and Martha arrive to see to it that she's okay. After she's released, Major Fitzapatrick arrives at Jack's home and informs Mr. Robinson that the dynamite was a fault on his part, and that Charlie has been given a second chance as a drummer boy, who thanks Jack for helping him reach this position.
