More high flying antics with Tailspin Tommy (John Trent). Tommy is training new pilots for the sky patrol, one of the pilots being Colonel Meade (Boyd Irwin)'s son Carter (Jackie Coogan) who has a phobia of firing guns but despite that is passed for service...
Sky patrol is looking for smugglers. Carter comes across a mysterious plane which shoots him down and he is captured by the smuggling gang who are illegally gun running. Tommy and Skeeter (Milburn Stone) seek to rescue him and stop the smugglers.
A fairly straight forward action film, the plot is simple but doesn't get in the way of good old fashioned heroism and daring. A good adaptation of a comic strip with some neat flying sequences.
