Q Planes

Directed by Tim Whelan and Arthur B. Woods

With Ralph Richardson, Laurence Olivier, Valerie Hobson, George Merritt and George Curzon

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.
