But even Mighty Truck needs to relax after working wheely hard to save the day every day in Axleburg! When Clarence's parents ask him to visit the family farm, he can't wait to romp with the sheep, play with the pigs, and have a good long rest.

But Mom and Dad have other plans--they need Clarence to help out! How can Clarence finish all his chores and have a zoomin' good time at home?

Sounds like a job for Mighty Truck!
