Plot

[edit]

Barbara Latham, the daughter of Henry Latham, takes temporary charge of a small flying-school. Her father is inspired to restart his flying career, not having flown since the end of World War I. Another WWI vet, Colton, now acting as mayor joins in as the two former WWI pilots unwittingly take a contract to fly a much-wanted criminal to Las Vegas, but forget to refuel the airplane in this classic misadventure.
