Fun little Universal programmer which is mostly set on a plane. I actually wish the whole thing had been set on a plane but appreciate that would be tricky. It gives an early role to Maria Montez, who doesn't have a big part, and also to Turhan Bey, whose part is bigger.
The writers shove in a lot of plot - William Gargan as a reporter (he lost his voice through smoking so its hard to see him smoke here), Irene Hervey as his fiancee (it's cute how they get married on the plane!), Truman Bradley as a nasty doctor, Lloyd Corrigan as a courier, Turhan Bey as a shifty looking local who turns out to be an agent, Philip Trent as a pilot with a past. Some times it is hard to tell people apart but it goes at a great speed.
John Rawlins could normally be relied upon to do a solid brisk job and he does so here.
