About This Program

Bus Trouble is a short programme presented in the format of an episode. It falls squarely within the episode genre, meaning it tells a self‑contained story that can be watched on its own. The title itself hints at a situation involving transport gone awry, setting the scene for a quick, focused narrative. The central action revolves around a school bus that suddenly becomes unmanageable. As the vehicle careens beyond the driver’s control, two characters – Elvis and Sam – step in to address the crisis. Their timely intervention prevents the situation from escalating further, and they manage to bring the runaway bus back under control. Elvis and Sam’s role is explicitly that of rescuers. When the bus loses its steadiness, the duo arrives on the scene and takes charge, ensuring the safety of those aboard. Their quick response is the pivotal element that resolves the incident, underscoring the episode’s focus on immediate problem‑solving. The episode concludes with the bus safely steadied thanks to Elvis and Sam’s actions. Their involvement turns a potentially dangerous episode into a moment where order is restored, wrapping up the story with the bus back under proper control.
