On the way home from the studio, Phil and Frankie discuss his latest film, and how Phil compares to leading man, Gary Cooper. As a flying sergeant for the Air Force, how is Phil’s inflight scenes coming along? The girls don’t recognize their dad in his uniform when he gets home. But will Alice think he was drafted? Phil gives a blow by blow of his filming experience, then sings, Mama’s on the Warpath.
The girls are impressed at the stories of flight, and beg Phil to take them flying. Too bad it has all been bluster, and Phil not only can’t fly, he’s terrified of being in the air. Frankie commits him to a promise, and Alice is ready to offer her own encouragement to have Phil see it through. Julius delivers the groceries, and gets in his wisecracks at Phil’s appearance, and situation.
It’s off to the airport to see Frankie’s guy he knows, Grogan. This is sure to be a safe flying school. What kind of safety device is long underwear on the wings? With such fine machines, Phil wissely takes the girls for a safer, high flying ride. Isn’t a parachute overkill for a Ferris wheel though?
