Leslie Morales, a glider pilot from San Lorenzo, arrives in the United States to take part in an international sailplane convention. With her is wealthy sportsman Byron Falco, who is secretly forcing Leslie to assist him with a plan to seize control of San Lorenzo. During her practice flights, Leslie drops homing devices out of her glider onto vital targets. Falco then demands that the American authorities supply him with military jets, threatening to attack the marked targets with guided missiles if his wishes are not met. Steve is despatched to stop Falco – but can he find a way to prevent the missile attack, or will the authorities have to give in to blackmail…?
