Synopsis
A group of crooks kidnap a delegation from Francovinia who are in Britain to buy the airliner Z09 . Impersonating the delegation members, the crooks go to the air field where Anne, the daughter of the field's superintendent, and Fred and John, two air cadets, are standing guard over the plane. The crooks overpower the youngsters and make off with them and the airplane. Anne and Fred manage to bail out over Elba, and upon landing they notify the Royal Air Force of the plane's position. John and his Uncle George, also captive on the airliner, free themselves, overpower the crooks, and aid the air force in recovering the plane.
