Plot
editAs described in a film magazine review,[3] Dorothy Hammis, a young woman who is in love with James Radley, a high living but worthy young man, learns that her wealthy financier father objects to their engagement and says that he favors another one for whom the woman does not care. Secretly, the father has hired Robert MacForth, a former pilot, to assist in ending the engagement by discrediting James. To win her from the man he dislikes, the father sends both men and his daughter on an airplane trip but gives instructions to the man he favors to pretend a wreck of the machine. The airplane is really wrecked and the pilot proves to be cowardly. When the father learns what has happened, he alters his opinion of James, the man he previously thought unworthy.
