Feel the exhilaration of watching one of Hollywood's first ever comic strip heroes onscreen. John Trent plays the legendary Tailspin Tommy in this classic thriller, where he tries helping out a juvenile delinquent. Here is a complete review of the film included in this incredible DVD. Trent as Tommy tries to help some juvenile delinquents by getting them interested in model airplane building. He encounters a special kid, Whitey, whom he literally takes under his wings. He introduces him to the joys of building balsa wood and tissue model airplanes. When Tommy crash-lands in a storm, the boy helps rescue him by using the miniature plane as a signal to the search parties. The publicity that arises from the rescue causes the formerly delinquent Baker to reevaluate his outlook on life and reforms him from a rough speaking youngster to a caring and talented friend. The kid's adult brother, who is up to no good, tricks Whitey into helping him in the plots to rob a payroll flight. Whitey works out a way that kids can give distress signals by having model planes do miniature skywriting, which he also shows Tailspin. Faking a fatal accident Whitey's brother convinces the former to get Tailspin to land using his smoke signal. Capturing Tailspin Tommy and getting their hands on the payroll 'dough', the villains take Whitey and Tailspin to their hideout, with no intentions of keeping them alive. Tailspin and Whitey conspire a plan to save their lives and it is time for another model airplane to save the day. + Read more.... |
