[edit] Synopsis

The whole class is excited about a field trip as they pile onto the school bus. With Miss Grotke leading everyone in back-seat chorus songs, the day looks as if it's going to be a bright one... until the bus breaks down on an abandoned stretch of road. The only thing for miles is a deserted building full of junk. With no other apparent solution, Miss Grotke radios HQ to request a replacement bus using language she picked up in the 1970s, while the bus driver cries over the loss of the oldest vehicle in the fleet. T.J. Detweiler and the gang feel for her distress, and as always in such situations, come up with a crazy plan. While Spinelli and Gretchen attempt to fix the engine, the other kids make their own modifications to the bus with whatever they can find, including several tins of paint, a battered sofa and the internal workings of a church organ. Amazingly, it works-- the bus is in working order by the time they've finished, and although they're too late to head for their original destination now, they make the most of the ride home.
