Synopsis
Colonel Hobson's ranch is bombed by a mysterious plane, and Texas Ranger Skyball Smith is sent to investigate. Arriving at the ranch on a motorcycle, Skyball is taken for a dude, but he wins the respect of the cowboys when he heads off a stampede by using his motorcycle. Skyball discovers that Davis, the ranch foreman, is behind the bombing, and Davis kidnaps Joby, the rancher's beautiful daughter, taking her off in an airplane; Skyball follows in another airplane. Skyball's machine catches fire, and he parachutes to earth. Joby wrests the controls of the other airplane from Davis, and they too must jump. Skyball captures Davis and wins Joby's love.
