Synopsis
Josh makes a delivery of pig food to Joe Laski's farm, but Joe has no way to collect the food, as his tractor has run out of fuel. Despite being offered a spare can of fuel, Joe refuses and pushes the pig food on a pram up to the farm with the help of Josh, Fiona and Ravi. Josh brings up a story about a ghost of a robber who comes every year on a certain date. Fiona and Ravi decide to investigate.
