The Adventures of Black Beauty

Dr James Gordon and his two children Vicky and Kevin move from London to the country. On the first day, Vicky brings home an injured horse, seeking her father's help. Everyone can see how the horse was treated. Later, the owner's son wants the stallion back but Gordon refuses. Vicky falls in love with the horse, but the family has no money to buy such a good horse.

An escaped convict holds Kevin and Black Beauty hostage, and forces Vicky to get food and clothes so he can complete his bid for freedom.

A young miner steals a pony sold for slaughter and with Vicky's helps hide it at home. The owner soon tracks them down and causes trouble for the young pair.

While riding Beauty, Vicky and Kevin encounter a threatening recluse at the Abbott farm. Despite being warned to stay away, the children persist in solving the mystery. When a runaway horse endangers young David Abbott, the children get their answer.

Gordon and Vicky rescue a former army horse whose end seems near. New neighbour Robbie, sheltered by his grandmother, befriends with Vicky and Kevin, and becomes enchanted by the new horse Soldier.
