Synopsis
Dave Kent, a commercial aviator, and his mechanic, Skeets Smith, are forced to make an emergency landing in Mexico and find themselves in the hands of La Panthera, a notorious bandit who wishes to overthrow the government and become president of a new republic. Manuel, his chief henchman, obliges them to collect the booty in a robbery, but Kent manages to meet María Valdez, a prisoner--held for marriage to the insurgent leader--who implores his aid. Kent and Skeets are arrested for the robbery and sentenced to death, but Manuel, believing it is La Panthera who has been captured, arrives with the rurales diverted from the execution. Kent returns to rescue Maria, and after a hair-raising pursuit, all dash to the border and safety.
