Synopsis:
Sir Oswald gives Brian Kent an arabian horse named Tana to train. Tana soon bonds with Brian and will approach only him. Later, while riding in Forest Perilous, Brian dons the armor of the Silent Knight in order to rescue Lady Celia who has been taken captive. Celia is blindfolded and does not see that the Silent Knight is riding Tana. After the rescue, Brian pretends to put Celia on another horse while keeping her blindfolded to protect his secret.

Shortly thereafter, the Silent Knight is captured by Sir Oswald's men. When he is brought to the castle Tana approaches. Brian fears that the horse will give away his secret, but instead the horse approaches Celia. The Silent Knight then escapes. When he returns to the castle as Brian he learns that Tana was holding sugar cubes which lured the horse to her instead of the Silent Knight.
