Arnold and his classmates find themselves stranded on a broken-down school bus following a field trip. As the kids wait for help to arrive, they begin to squabble and blame each other for the predicament. Meanwhile, Mr. Drummond and Willis set out to find the missing bus and its passengers.

As tensions rise on the bus, Arnold takes charge and tries to keep everyone calm. He even leads the group in a sing-along to pass the time. But when night falls and they are still stranded, the kids start to worry about their safety and getting home to their families.

Back on the city streets, Mr. Drummond and Willis search for the missing bus, facing their own roadblocks as they try to navigate rush hour traffic and find a way to track down the bus's location.

As the night drags on and the kids grow increasingly tired and hungry, they begin to lose hope that anyone will come to rescue them. But with Arnold's guidance and encouragement, they manage to stick together and stay optimistic.

Meanwhile, Mr. Drummond and Willis finally catch a break when they spot the missing bus, but it's not all smooth sailing from there. They must confront a group of tough bikers who have taken the bus for a joyride, and convince them to give it up and let them take the kids back to safety.

In the end, everyone makes it safely home, but not without a few bumps and bruises along the way. The experience teaches the kids the value of teamwork and perseverance, and Mr. Drummond and Willis realize just how much they care about their family.
