The Sky Spider

[1] Directed by Richard Thorpe, the film starred Glenn Tryon, Beryl Mercer, Blanche Mehaffey, Pat O'Malley and newcomer John Trent.

Glenn also brings along his friend, Hugh Jeffries (Philo McCullough) who is extremely interested in the brothers' design for a fast fighter aircraft.

When Jeffries learns Jim survived, he sends Marsh to drop a bomb on the prospector's cabin in order to eliminate the only witness to his part in the crime.
