In the 1939 film Danger Flight, John Trent stars as Ross King, a pilot for a small aviation company that is struggling to stay afloat. When one of their planes crashes, killing the owner's son, the company is faced with financial ruin. However, a wealthy businessman offers to invest in the company on the condition that Ross takes his daughter, Martha (played by Marjorie Reynolds), on a flight to South America. Ross reluctantly agrees to the deal, but soon finds himself in the middle of a perilous adventure that threatens not only his own life, but also the lives of everyone on board.

The film opens with a scene of Ross flying a small plane through a stormy night sky. We learn that he is a skilled pilot with a reputation for taking risks, but he is also struggling financially due to the struggles of the aviation industry. When his boss, Mr. Cole, informs him that the company is on the brink of bankruptcy, Ross is desperate to find a solution. That solution comes in the form of a wealthy businessman named John Whitney, who offers to invest in the company if Ross agrees to take his daughter, Martha, on a flight to South America.

Ross is hesitant at first, but eventually agrees to the deal. He and Martha board the plane, along with a handful of other passengers, including a doctor and an artist. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when they encounter a group of dangerous criminals who are intent on taking control of the plane. Ross and the passengers are forced to fight for their lives as they try to prevent the hijackers from crashing the plane and killing everyone on board.

Throughout the course of the film, Ross demonstrates his bravery and quick thinking as he attempts to outsmart the hijackers and save his fellow passengers. He is aided by Martha, who proves to be a brave and resourceful ally in the face of danger. The two develop a bond as they work together to overcome the many obstacles that they encounter during the flight. Milburn Stone also stars as the doctor, who is instrumental in helping Ross and Martha devise a plan to take control of the plane.

Danger Flight is a classic adventure film that captures the excitement and danger of early aviation. The scenes of the plane flying through stormy skies and dodging bullets are thrilling, and the performances of the actors are convincing and engaging. John Trent is a charismatic lead, and Marjorie Reynolds is a spunky and brave heroine who is more than capable of holding her own against the film's many villains.

Overall, Danger Flight is a gripping and entertaining film that is sure to satisfy fans of classic adventure stories.
