Queenie is called to attend to a sick pony, and on her way there sees Billiken, an over-worked mule. Queenie unharnesses him and takes him home. She sees in Billiken a possible assistant. A man comes in and wants to buy a zebra. As there is no zebra in the hospital, a pony is painted with stripes. The man takes him home, and while telling his wife about him, the "zebra" gets a bath from a fountain. When the man finds he has been cheated he goes back, and demands his money. Billiken shows her appreciation for what Queenie did for her by chasing the man out. He (the man) plans to blow up the hospital with dynamite, but Queenie sees him put the can there, and stands it behind him. Queenie is crowned conqueror.
