Synopsis for Prop Powers: "Enter: Lank Loomis"

Famous transport pilot Prop Powers quits his well-paid airline job and joins the Naval Air Corps. Along the way he meets and teams up with Lank Loomis; they work together thru their Naval Air training at Bermuda.

On a small island near Bermuda, Count von Krum and a covert unit of Nazi sailors, heavily drugged, are undertaking a suicide mission, piloting speedboats rigged with torpedo-style explosives. Their targets are scattered along the U.S. East Coast. An escaped refugee girl tells Prop and Lank what these agents are up to and where they are. Powers and Loomis commandeer a dive bomber and search for the Nazis, finding them still bunched together, just starting their mission. With some trick flying, Prop causes two speedboats to explosively collide. Their scout bomber is unarmed, but Lank has brought along his squirrel rifle; he picks off all of the rest of them. They then return to base and report to their commandant. An air-raid is dispatched, and dive bombers lay waste to the tiny island base. Count von Krum and his remaining henchmen are captured alive; their nation's government disclaims all knowledge of their activities.
