The other pilots are played by, William Lundigan, Guinn Williams and Leon Ames.It turns out that Arlen is innocent of causing the men's deaths.

This results in several fist fights with Arlen coming out on top.Lundigan decides he has had enough and takes off in a plane loaded with gold from a local mine. He ends up crashing in the wilderness. The only one willing to fly a rescue is of course, Arlen.Arlen flies into the remote crash site and picks up Lundigan. On take off the aircraft suffers some heavy damage. It slowly starts to fall to pieces the closer they get to the home field.
