Pirates of the Sky Synopsis
Manning is engaged by the secret police to trail aeroplane thieves,who learn this and grab his ex-fiancée. Both escape from a burning cliff-building, and the gang leader "falls for" Doris, whom he does not suspect until a note to Manning (now disguised as an air mechanic) is intercepted. Manning rescues Doris, chases the mail by motor-cycle, climbs up into it, transfers to another, drops on to some hay, and after a revolver battle captures the crooks, the leader being later arrested; Doris comes to Manning's arms.
Sky-Eye Synopsis
Wealthy oil magnate Harry Mangin is in love with his competitor James Murdock's daughter Blanche. Mangin schemes to ruin Blanche's father so that the girl will be forced to accept his attention. However, Blanche loves "Sky Eye" Blake, an aviator at the adjoining U. S. aviation field. When Mangin is driven in desperation to muster his own private air force in order to destroy his rival's oil plants, "Sky Eye" takes to the skies to quell the riot. After several daring escapades, "Sky Eye" captures Mangin and wins Blanche for his bride.
"Pirates of the Sky" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Sky-Eye" offers its own unique cult appeal.
