However, the killing is faked and Van Meer is imprisoned by nazies.
Johnny, helped by Carol, decides to solve the plot. They go to London and meet
Carol's father, Mr. Fischer, who promises to help them; but they don't know he
is a nazi spy.
Jones is safe from a killer's attack and he frees Van Meer.
Johnny and another reporter now want to catch Mr. Fischer who is leaving for

The airplane is shot down by the Germans and Fisher dies in order to save her
