Roughhouse Romantic Comedy In The Sky

Lloyd Nolan loves flying an Lynn Bari, who is a radio commentator. She refuses to marry him, because he's always flying off to pick up a crate of soft-shelled crabs or something. Nolan agrees to take a desk job, letting another pilot go to Honduras to fulfill a contract. However, when sabotage is suspected, Nolan heads down south to deal with it.

Nolan plays the working-stiff character that he would carry over into the Mike Shayne series in this Fox B, directed by the master of the cheap movie, Eugene Forde; he and Miss Bari wrangle very well, but despite the best efforts of an able cast, including George Montgomery, Hobart Cavanaugh and Etta MacDaniels, it never wanders far enough from the studio backlot and process photography lab to be more than an amiable time-waster.
