Synopsis: Just before World War II, a gadget is built that consists of a pair of small rockets mounted on an armour that is supposed to be worn on a man's back and allow him to fly. A gang of hoodlums gets hold of this gadget and is chased by the FBI; one of the hoodlums hides it inside a small racing airplane, and it is found by a young aviator, who then gets involved in the the frantic race for the device.
Appraisal: Good entertainment, appropriately toned down for the consumption of people of all ages. It is pacy and well photographed, and features some good (though not extraordinary) action sequences. It will appeal to nostalgic viewers and also to kids with no knowledge of the 30's. Its major flaw, in my opinion, is its excessive insipidness.
