Fleeing France and some little trouble that necessitated the temporary kidnapping of a Sureté officer, Eric Trent and Mortimer Crabb fly off in their DC-3 and head to England in a thick fog. An emergency landing there brings two mysteries to Trent - a strange and eerie red beam and a couple of German spies mistaking them for a rendezvous plane. Trent is excited about the potential escapade.
