Synopsis

Jack Bardell, a young English aviator, is accused of having crashed his plane to avoid serving on the French front, and the only people who believe him innocent of the charge are his sweetheart, Joan Allan, and his mechanic, Tom Berry. Although he is paralyzed up to the waist, with the help of Tom he constructs an airplane from wrecked machines; and on the night of a German zeppelin raid, he goes aloft and singlehanded brings the airships down, thus winning the admiration of his colleagues.
