The Old Fire Horse

Billy is a fire horse -- which was what fire fighters used to use to drag their equipment to fires, way back when. He's getting old and. Fireman Tom Santschi gets a new horse. He sell Billy to Nick Cogley, who's a milk man -- which was a guy who came by in the early morning and left milk at your house. But when Santschi's lady friend Betty Harte's apartment and daughter are about to go up in flames, it's Santschi's firehouse that gets the call, and Billy joins them when he hears those sirens.

It's not a great movie, but it does have its charms, and it's well paced for the era.
