What is The detectives about?

When Mr Jones, Stumpy and Walter nearly crash on a country lane, they each tell a different story about what happened. Who is telling the truth, and who is to blame? Little Red Tractor, Stan, Ryan and Amy decide to investigate. They look for clues, compare the evidence and question everyone involved. But solving the mystery is not as easy as they expect. Can the young detectives uncover the truth before the arguments get even worse?
