Outback Down Under

S1 E17: When Cousin Gemima hurries Emily and Alexander to the farm to meet her friend Amy, they discover there is trouble ahoof. Amy is convinced that her father is so in love with his latest contraption - an automobile - that he no longer has any use for her beloved horse, Nicholas. She doesn't have to hear the phrase "horseless carriage" twice before she sneaks away with Nicholas into the Australian outback. Soon, she faces the dangers of the wild land, including a pack of snarling dingoes. It's a race against time as her parents hurry to find Amy while our mice, assisted by a helpful dog, hurry along a secret short cut. With the help of "Uncle Arthur" a family friend who is a master at throwing the boomerang, Amy is saved and reunited with her parents. Her father assures her he would never get rid of Nicholas. Automobiles may be the latest thing, but no one can run a farm without a horse.
