Plot
Scientist Thomas Edmunds (William Desmond) invents an anti-gravity device called the "Contragrav," which is sought after by a gang of smugglers led by Mort Crome (LeRoy Mason).
Crome wants the invention but pilot Bob Raymond (Tom Tyler) comes to the inventor's aid, using another of Edwards' inventions, the superplane, "The Phantom." Able to control the aircraft from an underground headquarters, Bob foils Crome's plans. A last attempt to get at the inventor's work leads to an explosion at his workshop that kills the criminals. Edmunds escapes and is reunited with his daughter (Gloria Shea) and Bob.
