As the bus careens through Franklin's workshop, the class members must work together to avoid danger and figure out how to stop the out-of-control bus. Along the way, they learn important lessons about electricity, including how it's generated and how it can be dangerous if not handled properly.
With the help of Franklin's expertise, the class finally manages to regain control of the bus and land it safely back on the ground. They're all a bit shaken up by the experience, but they've also learned an important lesson about the power of electricity and how to use it responsibly.
As they say their goodbyes to Franklin and prepare to head back to school, the class reflects on all the amazing things they've learned during their time on the Magic School Bus.
