Synopsis:
Slam Bradley is hired to investigate the disappearance of several airliners. Slam infiltrates the flying circus of Baron Von Goetz. Secretly following Von Goetz one evening, he witnesses the Baron take control of an airliner by remote. Slam is unable to follow any further, so he waits for another chance.

Von Goetz and his wife discover that Slam is a spy. They set him up to kill him just before they hijack another plane. Slam overpowers Von Goetz, who falls to his death. Slam then follows the Baroness to where the stolen planes have been taken.

Slam is captured by the rest of the gang. The gang plans to execute Slam along with the crews of the stolen planes. The Baroness has fallen in love with Slam and rescues him. He in turn saves the other prisoners and smashes the ring of hijackers.
