Synopsis:
General Von Kleit requests that his young son Werner join Von Hammer's squadron. During an air battle, Werner breaks off from the main group while being pursued by the enemy. Enemy Ace is forced to stay behind to protect the other members of the squadron, while Werner is shot down.

When Enemy Ace returns to base, General Von Kleit is angry that his son is lost. He begins sending Enemy Ace and his squadron on suicide missions. After many pilots are killed, Von Hammer learns that Werner is alive and held as a prisoner of war.

Enemy Ace locates a castle where Werner is being held. He infiltrates the enemy stronghold and rescues Werner. They make their escape by jumping from the tower and using an improvised parachute to get to the ground. Once Werner has been safely returned to his father, he ceases to order Von Hammer's squadron on suicide missions.
