Tommy and his pals Skeeter (Noah Beery Jr.) and young and beautiful Jean Rogers as Betty Lou, fly to Nazil Island in the Pacific to help a group of honest business people protect oil reserves from takeover by dishonest ones. They are assisted by an undercover reporter as they seek the identity of a masked mystery pilot--The Eagle! "Tailspin Tommy In The Great Air Mystery" was an offshoot of the "Tailspin Tommy" newspaper comics. If you like truly entertaining stunt flying, and heroes who know how to smile, this is the serial for you. The no-CGI-in-sight old-fashioned airplanes are fun to watch and the sequence in which an airborne dirigible hooks a plane and pulls it aboard is also impressive. The "Gosh, Betty Lou!"-style dialogue, unquestionably written for kids, gives an authentic, classic feel to the story, which was adapted faithfully from comic strips of the time. Move over, Sky Captain, the real guy has some flying to do here! Extras: Serial Trailers: Rustlers of Red Dog, Lost City of the Jungle, The Master Key, Gang Busters, The Masked Rider
