Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? This picture deals with the heroism of the beautiful black saddle horse of Mrs. Wood, a wealthy New York lady. The horse is introduced in the story on a day when its fair owner is showing the animal to her visiting friends at her country home, at which time he displays some wonderfully clever tricks. The next morning, after the lady and her husband return from a horseback ride and while Don, the hero of the story, is being “rubbed down,” a surly groom abuses him. He is caught in the act by Mr. Wood, who knocks him down and discharges him. In a spirit of revenge the groom that night sets fire to the barn. Don sees the barn in a blaze, releases himself from his box stall and saves his companions in the stable by releasing them also. After the horses are all out of the barn, he rings the farm bell calling the help to extinguish the fire.
