An American adventure mystery; A story about a pilot who defends a carnival owner accused of being the killer who 'writes' the names of the victims in the sky with an aircraft's trail. This is a feature film made from an original 12 part film serial. A carnival setting and an airplane factory provide picturesque backdrops, and there are some quirky, colourful supporting characters. Mistaken identity, red herrings and mystery provide distraction along the way, oiled with some broad humour. But, it becomes an endurance test in its long running time, mainly due to sequences that offer little variation, despite the lightning-fast pace.
