Young Peter (Ron Hagerthy) is almost forced by his father (Boris
Karloff) to become a pilot and one day take over his aviation company,
even though he sees his future in designing airplanes. Then one day,
during a routine flight, Peter has the vision of a man (Roy Engel) who
puts him under some kind of hypnosis and he almost crashes the plane. Back
on the ground, Peter tries to find the cause of his vision ... and finds
it to be his father's dead war-buddy Wally. So he goes back into the air
again, is again hypnotized by the vision, and bails out at a certain
location the vision tells him, where he finds the remains of the airplane
his father and Wally flew during the war - and he finds out his father
back then had bailed out using Wally's parachute. Confronting his father
with this, the success-hungry old man tells Peter of his own failure -
that he didn't manage to save injured Wally's life, on the contrary, that
he killed him because the imperative of their mission was that Wally must
not fall into enemy hands. And ... and nothing, the end. Much
of this episode's running time is used up to build up an elaborate
mystery, but in the finale, the viewer is essentially let down by an
unsatisfactory and also incredibly boring explanation of all that
happened. Rather a waste of time.
