The station needs a new "probie" to replace Andy. Chief Terry lets Captain Eddie make the selection, but suspects that his pick--a meek lad named Mickleberry--was brought in only because his name is fun to say. Mickleberry doesn't hold up well under pressure, nor under the hazing from the rest of the crew. He unintentionally annoys Terry, who tells Eddie to get rid of him. But Mickleberry is saved by the fire bell when he comes through during a dangerous rescue that involves a car, a cat, and murder hornets.
