action

John is an old B-29 bomber. Although he was honored for his services in the Second World War, he can no longer find a job a few years after the war. The world only wants jets . When his wife Mary tells him that they are both expecting a small plane, work is all the more urgent for John. When he wants to report to the army, they throw him out. At home, too, he experiences a disappointment: The baby plane turns out to be a small jet that is now whizzing through the apartment. Only when John reads in the newspaper about an airplane competition, the winner of which receives a contract with the government, does his mood rise. He reports to start.

Mary, who suspects that a race with the jets will overwhelm her husband, is desperate. Little Johnny smuggles aboard his father. When it is barely in danger of falling in the air, Johnny pulls it back into the air and pushes it up to such a speed that John wins the race in the end. However, his son is honored and the government tells John that they would like to have 10,000 more baby jets from him. Horrified, John looks at Mary, who is blushing, but has already knitted numerous baby jet rompers.
