Q Planes
DRAMA OF THE WAR ON SPIES!
Directed by Tim Whelan, Arthur B. Woods
Produced by Irving Asher Productions
A spirited 1939 spy thriller that blends screwball comedy with genuine mystery and espionage intrigue, anchored by an eccentric trio working to uncover a sabotage ring.
In England, an eccentric police inspector, an earnest test pilot and a spunky female reporter team up to solve the mystery of a series of test aircraft which have disappeared without a trace while over the ocean on their maiden flights; unaware, as they are, that a spy ring has been shooting the planes down with a ray machine hidden aboard a salvage vessel which is on hand to haul the downed aircraft aboard, crews and all.
