## Episode Info

* **Trapped**

The Z-Stacks must share the upriver jobs with the Star Tugs. When a Tramper Zorran and Zug are towing goes out of control blocking the river and trapping the Stars, Zorran tries to take advantage of the situation to get more work for the Z-Stacks. However, Zorran's scheme does not go as he planned.

* **Ghosts**

Old sea stories - especially about ghosts are favourites amongst the tugs of Bigg City Harbour. No one will admit to taking them too seriously; so when Big Mac rushes back to the Star Ouer one foggy night the other tugs laugh when he tells them he actually saw the "Ghost Fleet" looking for their lost tows. However, mysterious things happen the very next night that make the Star Tugs uncertain as to whether the Ghost story is true or not.

* **High Winds**

An old dirty tramper suspected of smuggling lurks outside the limits of Bigg City bay. It is the notorious Johnny Cuba. When bad weather suddenly comes, he forces Zebedee, one of the Z-Stacks, to tow him into the safety of the harbour and into hiding. Normally, Zebedee would have been glad to help out an old friend but this time - things are different.
