Synopsis:
While battling two jewel thieves, the Shining Knight accidentally strikes Victory in the head. The horse gets amnesia which allows the crooks to steal him and make their getaway. After landing in a remote area the crooks abandon Victory. He is then found by a prospector Gold-Dust Morgan who starts a flying pony express service.

Sir Justin hears about the new service and is able to track down Victory, though the horse still does not remember him. When Morgan learns that his horse is Victory he passes out from the shock. The Shining Knight then agrees to carry out the delivery service as promised.

The jewel thieves decide to use the service to smuggle their jewels. They then drug Victory and wait for him to fall from the sky. The Shining Knight prevents a deadly crash landing and captures the crooks. The sleeping pills given to Victory cause him to recover his memory when he awakens.
