The Adventures of Black Beauty

Teenage runaway Isabella has been captured by the police and taken back to an orphanage, where she decides to runaway again.

Isabella finds herself being cared for at Dr. Austin's farm, not remembering who she is or what has happened to her. The only thing she knows for certain is that Black Beauty is hers.

Ted has been practicing for the local Gymkhana, where he's determined to win the Flag and Barrel Race.

Ted discovers that Bella has run away.

When Ted hears from a visiting horse dealer that his champion black horse has been stolen, he thinks that this provides him with an opportunity to get rid of Bella.

Frank prints a story in the Yarrandilly Bugle about Bella being the sole survivor of the Astoria shipwreck. Dr. Austin is furious that Bella did not confide in him.

Bella convinces Dr. Austin to allow her to sit for the Entrance Tests to the Willstown Grammer School with Ted.

Dr. Austin reads Bella a letter which demands that she return to the orphanage ASAP.

Everyone is excited by the discovery of the barrel lid, which not only proves that the Astoria was wrecked somewhere nearby, but gives Bella's story validity.

When Frank is inexplicably late to the first meeting of detectives, Ted suspects he may have been caught up in a local trap - the Bog.

Bella, Connie and Ted have news for Frank about the Astoria.

Bella receives a parcel from the orphanage containing her possessions: family photos, a cameo and her father's death certificate.

The Doctor asks Mrs. Mac to spend the night with an ailing Mrs. Crutchfield, but Mrs. Mac is reluctant to go because she believes the house is haunted.

Bella is under strict orders to behave herself, but talks the Doctor into letting her go for a ride on Beauty.

Bella comes down with the chicken pox and is confined to bed with no visitors.

The Doctor is close to signing Bella's custody papers, and when Walter tells him that something is getting through the fences at the farm, he believes it a good opportunity for Bella, Connie and Ted to stay at the farm.

Aunt Caroline's arrival has thrown the household into confusion.

Bella is horrified to learn that Beauty would not be able to go with her to England.

Ted narrows down the area where he thinks the gold is, but the children realize they'll need a boat to continue their search.

Although Frank's article in the Bugle says that nothing was found from the Astoria shipwreck, Potch and Weeks ransack the Austin farm stables hoping to find gold.

Walter and Bella try once more to open the tin box, realizing that it'll have to be cut open when Walter has more time.

Bella decides that she doesn't want to go to England.

The children are in possession of four large gold nuggets and don't know what to do with them.

The children are in conflict over Bella's decision to give Weeks the gold.
