A gang of criminals steal jewels from a plane in mid-flight. They escape by parachute, having left a time-bomb on board which destroys the plane. The pilot is suspected of involvement, but his sister tracks down the gang and clears her late brother's name.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Familiar crime-in-the-sky concoction; one or two faint tremors of tension, but for the most part elementary. Pete Murray gives a grotesque impersonation of an American law man." [2]
