Synopsis:
While Hop is hitchhiking home from his barnstorming tour he finds an abandoned truck on the road. He crawls into the back and falls asleep waiting for the owner to return. The owners are a pair of payroll thieves. They lock Hop in the back and return to the ranch where they are hiding out.

Hop escapes from the truck and takes the robbers' loot. He learns that the crooks are staying on Gerry's ranch, so he tips off her father. The crooks catch the rancher calling the police. They then load Gerry and her father onto a plane rigged to explode. Hop is on board and crash lands the plane. He then gets Gerry and her father to safety before the bomb explodes.
