"Tailspin" Tommy (Maurice Murphy), a young mechanic, gets a job with Three Points Airlines, which wins the contract. Their opponents resort to sabotage in order to have the contract for themselves. Wade "Tiger" Taggart (<a href="/wiki/John_Davidson_(actor,_born_1886)" title="John Davidson (actor, born 1886)">John Davidson</a>) becomes their enemy, a man who will do anything to stop the airline from doing business. </p><p>After Tommy becomes a pilot, he prevents a runaway aircraft from crashing into a crowd of children, among other adventures that put him into the public eye.
