Plot[]
Inside a traveling train that Toothy and Flaky are in, Nutty is happily eating a bag of jelly beans. Meanwhile, Lumpy the train driver is more occupied with playing an LCD handheld game. Further ahead, Handy is standing by the train track, which is closed up by a barrier for repairs. He panics when he sees the train speeding towards him. The train runs through the barrier, causing it to spin and decapitate Handy in the process.
After breaking through a boarded up tunnel, the train makes a stop at the Dumbville station. As Putz, Stumble, and Doofus enter the train, Nutty is left with one last jelly bean left. He is saddened about it until he sees Putz, whose color and shape resemble the purple jelly bean he took. Nutty happily runs up to him and the two appear to hug, before the two part to reveal Nutty having eaten a chunk of Putz' torso. While Putz screams as he is being chased by Nutty, the former accidentally knocks Stumble into the baggage compartment. Inside, the loose screws holding the floor come off, dropping the baggage and leaving Stumble who has no choice but to run on the train tracks to stay alive. After his feet get reduced into bones, he trips up and falls, causing him to get rolled up and mangled by the axle under the train.
At a railway crossing, Botch is signaling for a traffic light being lowered, only for the train to run through it. The traffic light first impales Putz. Nutty sees Putz being launched towards him and starts to open his mouth wide to eat the "jelly bean" that he sees as, which results in him getting impaled as well. Doofus and Flaky also end up as victims.
The train makes its final stop and its doors open to spill blood and guts. Lumpy walks out nonchalantly and clocks out. At one point, he has difficulty starting up his car. It is shown that he ends up in the middle of a railway crossing and a train then runs him over. As it ends with the iris, the nearby traffic light lights up with the horrified faces of Flaky, Doofus, and Nutty.
In the post-credits scene, Botch discovers Handy's dead body and is confused about it before Handy's head finally falls onto and crushes his head.

Goofs[]
- If the train sign was within a range where it could be hit by the train, the sign should have kept colliding with the passing train.
- When Doofus, Stumble and Putz board the train, there seems to be no demarcation between the station floor and the train floor.
- In the scene where Nutty looks into his paper bag, his lollipop disappears.
- When the train door is opened, one of the eyes has a round pupil instead of the Pac-Man shape. (Debatable because it may be Nutty’s eye or one of the bean's eyes.)
- Although one eye appears on the ground, when the traffic lights come on, all the characters have their two eyes.
- Despite the front of the train hit first, Lumpy, who was in the cab seems not to have got hurt or even noticed anything about the accident.
- In the scene where Putz is hit by the traffic light and flies towards Nutty, you can see that there isn't any damage in the frontal side of the train.
- In the scene where the traffic light collides with Putz, Nutty, Doofus and Flaky, the traffic light should fly through their bodies instead of getting them stuck in the middle. (Because the train is hitting the traffic lights at a super high speed, it should be hitting the character at a high speed.)
- Even though the head of the traffic light is much larger than its pole, only a small portion of the victim's head was penetrated.
- Despite the fact that Stumble’s and Putz’s voice is clearly heard throughout, former is Liz Stuart and latter is Nica Lorber, their voice actors aren't credited at the end of the video.
