Desperate Cargo (The Film Detective Restored Version)

HIGH-JACKED IN THE SKIES! The most daring crime in the history of air clippers!...International air pirates steal a forty-five ton flying clipper a mile above the Caribbean! Director William Beaudine, the man who gave us Bela Lugosi Meets Brooklyn Gorilla, serves up an action packed thrill-ride about a gang of criminals hijacking a clipper ship in midair. More drama is provided by the passengers, namely two showgirls on their way to New York, an angry reporter trying to meet a deadline, and a scrappy young purser (Ralph Byrd) who is just itching for a fight!
