| Description: | Federal agents are trying to stop a spy ring that committing acts of sabotage around the U.S. When a spy is found dead on a crashed train, agent Brass Bancroft (Ronald Reagan) takes on the man's identity and infiltrates the bad guys. Things get complicated when the man's wife shows up. Brass manages to get her quietly arrested. The bad guys tell him to board a dirigible which is taking part in naval maneuvers. On board is a secret weapon, the "inertia projector" that can make any machine stop instantly. The bad guys want to steal the plans, the have Brass destroy the dirigible to cover their tracks. The ship crashes in a storm and Brass is almost killed, but he recovers in time to warn the Feds that the bad guys have the plans. They use the projector to stop their plane and make it crash. There's a silly sub-plot about Brass' assistant wanting to get married but the service keeps disrupting his plans. |
