Synopsis:
Hans Von Hammer, the Enemy Ace and his squadron engage French aircraft over enemy territory. Two members of his squadron are shot down. Von Hammer's own plane is set on fire, forcing him to make an emergency landing. His plane is destroyed, but the Enemy Ace walks away from the crash.

Von Hammer finds himself in enemy territory. He makes his way to a cottage where he receives medical aid from a blind woman. She show him a picture of her son, a French pilot. Von Hammer recalls shooting down this pilot in aerial combat, but he does not tell the woman. When the French military show up at the cottage, Enemy Ace escapes.

Enemy Ace takes refuge in a barn for the night. In the morning a farm boy finds him. Recognizing Von Hammer as a pilot, the boy tells him about his brother who is also a pilot. Enemy Ace recognizes the brother from the boy's description. Another one of his kills.

As Von Hammer makes his way home across the countryside, he encounters a shepherd girl. Her fiance is another French pilot who was shot down by Von Hammer's guns. Finally, the Enemy Ace reaches his homeland and resumes his role as a pilot in the killer skies.
