The creative yet debt-ridden inventor Fred must sell his beloved prototype of an aeroplane. Fred’s wife is ill and needs expensive medicine. The buyer is the usurer Frank, who doesn’t understand technology other than a status symbol. Thus, Frank needs a pilot, and Fred swallows his pride and takes the job. On the day of the test flight, a violent storm is brewing. Will Fred’s own invention seal his fate?
