Drama in the Air

Lubin summary: At the opening of the picture we see the filling of the balloon with gas. The aeronaut enters with a friend, the balloon ascends and is seen drifting away. We see the most beautiful sceneries which the balloon passes--the harbor filled with war ships, the great city and wild waves precipitated over the rocks. Suddenly a storm arises. A heavy rain falls; lightning and thundering. We see the balloon helplessly driven by the fierce storm. Suddenly lightning strikes the balloon, which catches fire, and is seen descending rapidly into the deep sea. A fisherman, just passing the spot in his boat, rescues the two brave balloonists. This is a most sensational film, and at the same time whose sceneries are most delightful. It is an entire novelty in animated photography, and we guarantee it to be a big hit with every audience.
