Synopsis:
Bobo takes up flying with Dan Crowley, a friend of Sheriff Chase. While in the air, their plane goes down and crashes. Crowley is dead, but Bobo escapes unharmed. The crash is ruled an accident, but Bobo returns to the plane to find evidence of murder. A masked man grabs Bobo and attempts to kill him. Bobo escapes and outruns the man. The sheriff then finds evidence that Crowley was indeed murdered. Bobo tries to point to fingerprints on his neck that will identify the killer. The killer, Elmer Hood, then reveals himself and is apprehended. Sheriff Chase wonders if Bobo was bluffing to smoke out the killer, because the fingerprints would not show up on Bobo's skin.
