In this episode, Olive and Otto have to work together to get a late book back to the library before midnight, using a special train to stop time.
The plot begins when Olive receives a late notice in the mail for her library book. However, she soon realizes that the book is already due and must be returned to the library before midnight or she'll have to pay a fine. To make matters worse, Otto reminds her that the library closes early on Saturdays and it's already midday. But when they try to return the book, they find out that it has already been returned, which doesn't make sense.
As always, the two agents are determined to solve the mystery and find out who returned the book. But when they arrive at the library, they quickly learn that the librarian, Miss O, has set up a series of puzzles and challenges that they must complete in order to get the book back. The first challenge is to read a secret message hidden in a book before the clock strikes 1 o'clock.
While Olive and Otto are busy working on this challenge, Miss O mysteriously disappears, leaving the two agents to solve the remaining puzzles by themselves. Luckily, they stumble upon a special train that can stop time, which they use to complete the remaining challenges and get the book back to the library before it's too late.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to several exciting and suspenseful moments as Olive and Otto race against the clock to complete the challenges and get the book back in time.

As usual, the show also maintains its trademark humor and wit, with several amusing jokes and one-liners scattered throughout the episode. Even younger viewers will appreciate the clever wordplay and play on concepts like time, trains, and puzzles.
