There's a talent show in Pontypandy and Norman Price is searching for an act. But whatever he tries, compère Trevor Evans "pours cold water" on it. Finally, when Norman tries to play Fireman Cridlington's electric guitar, he is asked to leave the stage. Then his eyes alight on a comic featuring 'Lasso Kid' and he decides to delight the crowd with his roping skills. However, Norman's rope tricks soon lead to a fire and Fireman Sam has to intervene.
