Synopsis:
Three former fighter pilots become stunt flyers after the war. When one of the pilots, Paul, is injured in a crash, he loses his courage and is grounded.

Later a mysterious bandit makes several aerial raids in a plane resembling Paul's. The Shining Knight finds Paul's wallet at a crime scene, leading him to the three pilots.

The other two pilots begin to suspect Paul is the thief. They make a plan with Sir Justin who feigns injury during his next encounter with the thief. He finds Paul, who admits that he has simply lost his courage and is not the thief. Justin allows Paul to bring down the bandit by riding Winged Victory. In the process, Paul regains his nerve, and the real crook is exposed as Bowen, an associate of the pilot trio.
