Widow Knight and her lovely daughter Lovey open the world's first flying school in January 1904. A ridiculous concept remembering, that the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk was December 1903.

All does not go well. TWO villains harass the Knights and plan to take over the school and ….Lovey. In the nick of time, enters the hero Sterling Strongwrench! That's the good news. The bad news is that a mysterious woman is following Sterling.

Complications tail-spin and loop-the-loop many times before all is resolved in this hiss-the-villain, cheer-the-hero and heroine melodrama. Delightful music and songs make everything turn out well
