Synopsis
John Keller, l'inventeur d'un nouvel avion révolutionnaire, se rend à l'usine de Radex Airplane Factory en Californie en compagnie de Nick Carter, qui voyage sous le nom de Robert Chalmers, assistant du directeur de l'usine Hiram Streeter. Une fois en vol, le pilote feint une panne de moteur et atterrit. Il a en fait rendez-vous avec un groupe d'espions qui veulent voler les plans de Keller. Nick déjoue leur plan et, avec l'aide de l'hôtesse Lou Farnsby, pilote l'avion et ses passagers jusqu'en Californie. À l'usine Radex, Streeter explique à Nick que des plans secrets ont été volés, malgré une sécurité renforcée. L'avenir de l'usine est lié au développement de l'avion de Keller et c'est pour enquêter sur ces vols que Streeter a fait venir Nick Carter. La liste de suspects de Nick inclut Lou, et il demande à Streeter de l'employer à l'infirmerie. Nick est aidé dans son enquête par Bartholomew, un détective amateur. Lorsqu'un sabotage détruit le nouvel avion lors d'un vol d'essai, Nick commence à suspecter Keller, mais ce dernier est assassiné. Quand Nick attrape un des patients du Dr Frankton avec des photos des plans dans ses bandages, Frankton réalise qu'il est sur le point d'être arrêté et prend Lou en otage. Frankton s'enfuit par bateau de l'usine, avec Nick et à sa poursuite en avion. Finalement, Bartholomew et la police du port arrivent pour arrêter les espions.Actors
