Robert goes to look for work and finds a job, first for the milk man, then as a show horse, but each time his allergy got in the way and his powerful sneezes lost him his job. Finally he gets a job as a police horse. One day, he sees three men rob a bank. He chases them, but they seem to be getting away. Suddenly Robert remembers his allergy. He sees a little girl with a rose in her hat and purposely sniffs it. His great sneeze flattens the robbers and they are put in jail. Robert is a hero. They have a big party for Robert and present him with a rose cape in appreciation. Everyone expects another great sneeze, but Robert discovers that he is no longer allergic to roses.
