Synopsis:
A series of strange airline accidents draw the attention of the Crimson Avenger. Lee Travis then receives a tip that rubber magnate H.A. Powers is nearly bankrupt. Further investigation reveals that Powers has collected insurance money from each of the accidents. The Crimson then kidnaps Powers and places him aboard the next plane upon which Powers has planted a bomb. The businessman tosses the bomb from the plane, preventing the accident. When the plane lands, Powers confesses to the whole scheme to collect insurance money.
