Plot

edit

A boy known as Three (Ike Eisenmann), off from school for the summer, reluctantly goes to spend the time on his grandfather's farm. The rural life with his grandfather, Abner (Pat O'Brien) and his only farm hand Cornwall (Lloyd Nolan) is hard for Three to adjust to. This includes a goose that picks on him and an attempt to drive a tractor that goes wrong. However, things change when Three discovers a World War I biplane in the barn and that his grandfather was a flying ace during that war. Three convinces Abner to fix the plane and teach him how to fly.
