Eager to impress the girl of his choice, Sid engages one of the fliers to put him thru an aviation test with the idea of trying out the new machine which no one else will attempt to do. He is put thru a series of tests on ingenious mechanisms. The day of the flight arrives, Sid hops into the freak machine, the propellers whirl and off he goes - backwards. He is supposed to receive instructions via radio but inadvertently tunes in on another station where a girl's calisthenic class is in action. He follows the dizzy antics of the class, and his instructors, thinking that the machine is beyond control, send up another aviator who carries along Sid's sweetheart as a passenger. A furious battle in the air follows in which our hero's machine tumbles earthwards. Not liking the villain's love making, Sid's sweetheart gets out to walk home by means of a parachute and after a thrilling descent, lands in about the same spot as her true lover who effects the rescue.
