Flying High Synopsis

Roy Cummins, a former military pilot, runs exhibition flights at a summer resort. Returning from a trip to fly a passenger to a steamship--for which he was paid $500--he meets Patricia Barton, who warns him against accepting the money. It seems she has learned that the passenger he has delivered to the ship is a criminal fleeing the law with some valuable stolen goods. He soon finds himself mixed up with a ring of thieves, airborne bandits who attack cargo planes and a sexy "vamp" sent by the gang's leader to seduce him into turning over what information he knows about them.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
