Synopsis
Bill Taylor, an ace pilot known as the "Flying Fool" in the World War, falls in love with his brother's girl, Pat, a singer, when he visits her to find out what kind of girl she is. To his surprise he discovers that she is a "smalltown girl," decent and likable. The brothers take to their airplanes to decide which of them wins Pat. After a thrilling air "battle," Bill and Jimmy land safely: Pat decides she loves Bill, and Jimmy transfers his affections to another pretty thing.
