Synopsis
"Buck starts out as a failure as a ranch hand and winds up a failure as an aviator, but only because of the dire villainy of his society rival for the girl's hand. This girl, who meets Buck as he descends from a parachute jump immediately becomes interested in him and persuades her wealthy father to back Buck and his pal in the Honolulu [airplane] race. The Villainous rival sees to it that the pilot pal is drugged just before the race starts, so Buck, an inexperienced pilot is compelled to handle the ship on the perilous journey. A feed pipe goes amiss a thousand miles at sea and Buck and his pal crash. They are picked up by a passing ship, but the pal is quite dead. Buck, given up for lost, returns unexpectedly, routs the villain and wins the girl." ( Motion Picture News, 6 Oct 1928, p1097.)
