Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Sky Raiders may be a talkie, but its plotting and performances are strictly from the silent era. Lloyd Hughes plays Bob, a daredevil aviator in love with Grace (Marceline Day). Bob's recklessness and fondness for bootleg hootch causes the death of Grace's brother, whereupon she storms out of his life. Our hero redeems himself by rounding up a gang of flying hijackers who've been robbing gold shipments in mid-air.
