Riding on Air
5.1
“The world's dizziest aviator opens his throttle just to ventilate his tonsils as he hops from cloud to cloud for love and glory!”
Smugglers are using a device for controlling airplanes in flight, and newspaper reporters from Chicago are vying for the story. Reporter Elmer Lane is out to scoop rival reporter Betty Harrison, and capture her heart in the process.
