The Story

Buck in the early days of flight, your chance at adventure means having a skin of canvas and wooden struts. Our heroes are a pack of strapping kids, all in love with airplanes, who get snagged into a crazy mess when a crook flies off with their brand- new hydroplane. Now that's what I call a rude sky-jacking.

The boys aren't stumped for long. Teaming up, they mean to get that plane back from whoever copped it. What seems like simple theft turns bigger—as if criminal plans don't usually?—and suddenly it isn't just their machine at risk. Another man, maybe deeper and scummier, lurks nearby using the airplane and other lake-craft for trouble. Our kids corner him on trick detour. This turns around tail chase high across bays and rivers showing hydroplane in clutch, belly-land hiccup—real salt spray movie landing short.

The flying stiff's true bag is eventually exposed during a mid-water brawl 'tail slap. Only through smarts, stead, and terrifying trust in rickety equipment can they wrap a righteous noose and keep the skies their play place.
