Synopsis:
Two of Hop's fellow cadets, Booker and Spud, tease another cadet, Blimey. Blimey is British and doesn't understand American slang. The cadets confuse him and cause him to fail his flight tests. Hop offers to fly with him and together they rescue the flight instructor when he is involved in a crash caused by Spud. Spud is washed out, but Blimey is given another chance to be a pilot because of his performance in an emergency situation.
