After inventing an anti-gravity device, a scientist (William Desmond) and his daughter (Gloria Shea) recruit a pilot (Tom Tyler) to demonstrate it in action. But the unscupulous leader of a ring of smugglers (LeRoy Mason), pretending to be a friend, tries to sabotage the plane and steal the invention.

03:24I'm all done. I guess I'm all washed up, Raymond.
03:37I'm afraid you're right.
03:39Before it's too late, Blade, tell me where can I find Chrome's hideout?
03:44Tryin' to find out.
03:54Listen, Blade, Chrome didn't think of you when he bailed out of that ship
03:58and left you to what he thought was certain death.
04:01Bob, look. It's Chrome.
04:13I guess you're right, Raymond.
04:16Chrome doesn't care.
04:18He has Edmunds, uh...
04:20uh...
04:21Can you give me some gas so I can get my plane back to the airport?
04:31I reckon so.
04:32We'll get every plane in the country up in the air.
04:34We'll search every foot of this land for Chrome's secret landing field.
04:37All right, Raymond.
04:44Get every available ship into the air.
04:46Spare no effort to find the landing field of those smugglers.
04:49Yes, that's right.
04:51Hold the wire a minute.
04:52Hold the wire a minute.
04:54Hello?
04:55This is the sheriff speaking.
04:56Get all the National Guard ships out to help.
05:00Yes, all of them.
05:02That's right.
05:12Sheriff, you and your men conduct a ground search of the Eastern Territory.
05:16Munson, stand by the radio constantly so I can keep in touch with you.
05:19That's right.
05:20Right.
05:36Contact.
05:37Contact.
05:38Yes!
05:39And I'm going to find the consular industry right now.
05:41South Territory.
05:42I have a man.
05:43Come on.
05:43I have a man.
05:44No.
05:45I have a man.
05:45Good enough.
05:45Yes.
05:45Yes.
05:46I have a man.
05:46Good enough.
05:47You have a man.
05:47I have a man.
07:18As I told you, it cannot be explained in words.
07:23They are secret chemicals and a formula locked in the vault at my airport.
07:28I would have to demonstrate it to you.
07:30They are on our trail.
07:39Tell everybody to keep undercover and get the big car ready for a fast trip.
07:42Right.
07:43They are searching the skies for us, but they will never find us.
07:47Captain Raymer will find you.
07:49Yes, and your very clever daughter will no doubt help him.
07:53While they are searching the skies, we will go back over the ground.
07:57What do you mean?
07:59What's the wavelength of the radio at your laboratory?
08:02Why should I tell you?
08:04Because I can force you to.
08:0945 meters.
08:10Call your man, Munson.
08:17Tell him you want to speak to your daughter or to Captain Raymond.
08:20Hello, Munson?
08:35Yes, yes.
08:37Is that you, Mr. Edmonds?
08:39Well, where are you?
08:40I'm at...
08:41That's enough.
08:42Ask him for the others.
08:43I want to talk to my daughter or Captain Raymond.
08:52Why, they're up in the Phantom, sir, looking for you.
08:56I heard what he said.
08:58Hello.
08:59Hello.
08:59That's what I wanted to know.
09:01Come on.
09:02Car ready?
09:03Ready to go anywhere.
09:04You're coming with us, kid.
09:13Mr. Edmonds.
09:16Mr. Edmonds.
09:17Hello.
09:18Hello.
09:18Hello.
09:43I'm sure it was Mr. Edmonds, but he didn't say where he was.
09:57Munson just heard from your father, but he doesn't know where he is.
10:01At least we know he's still alive.
10:03We must continue our search.
10:06Hello.
10:06Hello, Munson.
10:09Now, stay on the air in case Mr. Edmonds calls you again.
10:13Lead the way to your workshop.
10:18And remember, don't try any tricks.
10:21I'll get you for this, Chrome.
10:22Do as I tell you.
10:43Captain Raymond.
10:44Captain Raymond.
10:44Hello.
10:45Hello, Munson.
10:46Go ahead.
10:47Mr. Edmonds is here.
10:48They've got...
10:48Munson said your father was at the airport.
10:53Then something happened.
10:55Sounded like a shot.
10:56Oh, Bob.
10:57We must get back there at once.
11:03All right, kid.
11:04Take him outside.
11:05Now, you're going to give me the secret of this discovery and invention of yours, and the formula with the chemicals, and instructions how to compound it.
11:22I can't do it.
11:23In your hands, there'd be an agent of terrible destruction.
11:27You may not value your own life, but perhaps you do that of your daughter.
11:30You're a fiend, and you'd stop at nothing.
11:34You're right.
11:35To attain my own ends, I would stop at nothing.
11:38Well, Munson wouldn't bother us for a while, anyway.
11:40I'm willing to bargain with you.
11:52In exchange for the formula, your life and your daughter's will be spared.
11:56And you will never hear from me again.
11:59With the formula in your possession, the world will hear from you to its sorrow.
12:03I see we've got to use more strenuous means on Mr. Edmonds.
12:07Well, it's never failed yet, Chief.
12:08Hurry, hurry, out with it.
12:12I realize you're desperate, Crom, and will go to any means to get what you want, even though it meant to me the loss of my life's work.
12:28The secret you want is hidden in that vault.
12:36How do I open it?
12:37You don't.
12:39I alone know the secret.
12:48Go on, open it.
12:58You insist on this?
13:00Go on.
13:01Oh, oh, my God.
13:25Yes, sir.
13:26What's that? That noise, it means that you've lost. The counter grab is beyond my reach.
13:49It's worse time that it takes to reach the open air. This place will be blown to atoms.
13:54It's too late, Crone. Just a little too late, Crone.
14:02Bob!
14:24Bob! Dad! Dad!
14:34Crone. He paid for it.
14:41Perry! Perry!
14:42Dad! Dad!
14:44Get me out of here.
14:50Mary, some water. Mr. Edwards, what happened?
15:00Crone.
15:01Crone.
15:02Cone.
15:03Mary, some water.
15:07Mr. Edwards, what happened?
15:10Crone.
15:11Mary, some water.
15:15Mr. Edmonds, what happened?
15:19Crone tried to force me to reveal the secret of my invention.
15:26My counter grab.
15:29The only way I could protect it was to blow up the place.
15:33You mean you were willing to sacrifice yourself rather than let it fall into his hands?
15:38Yes.
15:39Mr. Edmonds, you are a hero. One of the greatest of our times.
15:47Mr. Edmonds! Mr. Edmonds! Are you all right?
15:53Yes, Munson.
15:56I'm all right.
15:59And the counter grab still lives.
16:09Yes, Mr. Edmonds. The counter grab still lives.
