Output (English): TransAmerica Air Lines pilot Three Star Bob Halsey Lyle Talbot is in love with stewardess Judy Wagner Ann Dvorak, but she wants him to stop his daredevil ways. So does his boss, Lackey Charles C. Wilson. Confident in his abilities and knowing that he is the airlines best pilot, he pays neither any mind. Federal agent Brownell Henry ONeill urgently requests Lackeys cooperation: Clement Williams Edward McWade must be flown from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., with a cylinder full of a revolutionary new explosive he has invented. However, Lackeys assistant Jason Arthur Pierson is eavesdropping on him for Taggart Russell Hicks, a spy. He eavesdrops again when Lackey chooses Bob as pilot and Judys brother Tom Robert Light as copilot. Taggart sends three men to provoke Bob into a fistfight. While Bob is knocked out, another pilot, George Wexley Gordon Westcott, chats casually with Tom, learns that Bob is late for the special trip, and offers to protect Bobs job by taking over. Over the lower Sierras, the Ford Trimotor airliner explodes. Bob and Lackey fly to the crash site and talk to Brownell. Toms cap is there. Back in Los Angeles, they report that there are no survivors. Frantic for news of her brother, Judy drives to the site before they return, evading the police roadblock. She is recognized by Jason, who is traveling with the spies to a nearby house they are using. Improvising a plan, they pose as federal agents and stop her. At the house she is surprised to see Wexley, who tells her the saboteur ordered him and Tom to parachute out, then set a bomb and himself parachuted out with the cylinder—all nearly true, except that Wexley was the saboteur and Tom is dead. They want to hide the cylinder in Judys car and trick her into driving to Mexico, so Wexley says that Tom has gone to Tijuana to identify a suspect. She agrees to leave in the morning. But then the radio reports the recovery of Toms body. Realizing her predicament, Judy pretends not to have heard. That night, finding some paint, she paints Bobs threestar personal logo on the porch roof of the house. Next day, back at Los Angeles, Bob learns Jason has left the office—with the three men who knocked him out. He and Lackey then discover Jasons eavesdropping device. Bob flies back to the crash area. As his copilot he takes Wings, who works as the airlines mechanic because when he got his pilots license he learned he was afraid to fly. They see the three stars and land. Bob tells Wings that if there is any sign of trouble he must fly away and alert the Air Patrol. When shots are fired, Wings does just that—not seeing Bob and Judy running for the plane. The spies capture them both. Wexley and Taggart depart in Wexleys armed biplane, taking Judy and the cylinder. Wings then arrives with the Air Patrol, who capture the rest of the gang after a brief gunfight. In a dogfight between biplanes, Taggart is killed but the Air Patrol plane is shot down. Now rescued, Bob takes off with Wings. He finds Wexleys plane and executes risky maneuvers to force him to land. Wexley tries to run away and Wings throws a rock at him. Both Judy and the cylinder are recovered. Although the government is grateful, all that Judy and Bob want to do is get married.
