After graduating from barber college, Gene gets a shop on an aeroplane as his first field of labor. His first customer is a fruit dealer, J. Buckley Russell, also suitor for the hand of Sally Phipps, the girl in question. What Gene does to his rival once the latter is seated in his barber chair and, for that matter, to other succeeding customers, would undoubtedly be bad enough at best. Add to his natural nervousness a plane doing tail spins and nose dives and you feel that the villain is justified in chasing the hero out on the wings and causing his fall countless miles to the terrain beneath.
