Reformed daredevil "Red-Eye Bill" is delighted to receive from a wealthy uncle a present of a wonderful horse whose name is Intellect. Bill "introduces" his sweetheart Peggy to the horse, who takes a great liking to her. Later, through a combination of circumstances, Bill is suspected of a crime, and when he sees the sheriff and his men coming thinks he is wanted for some old misdeeds. He gallops furiously away, and they succeed in capturing only his horse, who escapes in a novel manner, and proves a most effective messenger between Bill and his sweetheart. As a result, Peggy gets the local attorney on the case, and eventually the real culprit is apprehended. Shortly after Bill is restored to honorable citizenship, he meets Jane, pretty and coquettish, and becomes infatuated with her, although Intellect shows strong disapproval of her. Hearing of Bill's wealthy uncle, Jane urges an early marriage, and the two make hasty preparations. The horse seems to know what is going on, for he hides her wedding clothes, and then intercepts a note between the two, which effectually puts an end to the affair. Intellect then goes to Peggy's home, kneels for her to mount and carries her to Bill. She dismounts and the horse gently nudges its master towards Peggy, indicating plainly that Bill shall kiss her. He takes the hint and Intellect nods his head in approval. After the wedding ceremony, the horse brings the happy couple a most surprising gift, which causes a hearty laugh from all present.
