DRAMA OF THE WAR ON SPIES!

ComedyMysteryThrillerScience Fiction

In England, an eccentric police inspector, an earnest test pilot and a spunky female reporter team up to solve the mystery of a series of test aircraft which have disappeared without a trace while over the ocean on their maiden flights; unaware, as they are, that a spy ring has been shooting the planes down with a ray machine hidden aboard a salvage vessel which is on hand to haul the downed aircraft aboard, crews and all.

VIBE

A delightful blend of screwball antics and pre-war espionage. It’s a charmingly earnest caper with a dash of sci-fi absurdity, perfect for a cozy mystery night that keeps you guessing with a smile.
