The New Adventures of Black Beauty

Nigel Denning returns to his father's house in England. He brings his new wife Jenny Gordon Denning with him. The Dennings want to move to New Zealand and take Vicky, Nigel's 12-year-old daughter, with them. Lord Fordham does not like this idea - he wants to give Vicky a traditional education. Vicky meets the old Black Beauty, Jenny's horse, and begins to love him.

When word arrives that Jenny's husband's ship is lost, she and her stepdaughter Vicky head for their farm in New Zealand and meet Manfred. Word arrives of Black Beauty's death and, on the same day, a wild black horse appears.

Jenny and Vicky work cleaning up the farm but Vicky's mind is on the wild black horse. A trip to town establishes Jenny as a veterinarian. While gone, the horse runs away. Vicky and Manfred discover the stallion trapped with Vicky, and learn how far she will go to save the untamed new Beauty.

Frank Coats takes Black Beauty in Jenny's absence. Coats wants a fight between his favorite horse, Dancer, and Black Beauty.

Vicky begins her mail delivery job with the self-important Mr. Burton while Dr. Gordon finds himself with little to do. Vicky and Beauty encounter a down-on-their-luck circus troupe that is intent on conning everyone.

Something was badly wrong on the ship that crashed on rocks in broad daylight and sank. Vicky, who discovered the only injured man and a nearby dog while reading on the beach, solves the mystery based on various comments, the captain's papers and a dictionary.
