The film stars Art Acord, Moe McCrea, Nancy Deaver, Cesare Gravina, Albert J. Smith, and Hilliard Karr.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Jack Manning (Acord), a cowboy on a lark at the circus, admires a poster of Omar and wishes he could own the horse, the most beautiful animal he has ever seen.

Omar is the ring horse of Doraldina (Deaver), the pretty bareback rider, who is being bullied by Steve Brant (Smith), owner of the circus.

In an effort to intimidate Doraldina, Brant lashes down the horse and cruelly whips the helpless animal while his bullies hold the frantic young woman.

He sends Doraldina, who is the only person the horse will follow, threatening her with expulsion if she fails to return with the big drawing card to the circus.
