(Vitagraph Company of America, 1921)
Jessie is the eldest daughter of Squire Gordon. Jack Beckett, a scheming adventurer, attempts to use the recent death of her brother and the mysterious disappearance of £1,000 from the Gordon household to blackmail Jessie into marrying him. Meanwhile, Black Beauty slowly descends from the position of a well-loved pet of a country gentleman to that of an overworked London cab horse. Based on the novel by Anna Sewell.
Of its original seven reels, only three are known to survive. For this reconstruction, the missing reels are filled-in with a home movie abridgement of Black Beauty released in 1929.
Starring Jean Paige · Directed by David Smith
