Real-life flying ace Frank Hawks stars in the 15-chapter Columbia serial
The Mysterious Pilot. Running the gamut of emotions from A to B, Hawks
is cast as Jim Dorn, mapmaker for the Royal Canadian Air Force. With his
sidekicks, a mountie named Kansas (Rex Lease) and an Indian named
Luke (Yakima Canuttt), Jim shields Jean McNain (Dorothy Sebastian) from
the villainous machinations of her former fiance Carter Snowden
(Kenneth Harlan). It is difficult to determine Snowden's motives, though it
can't be denied that he's one of the most resourceful villains in serial
history. Mysterious Pilot is capped by an offbeat climax wherein the hero
is rescued by the heroine!
