Professor Phineas, last seen flying balloons, returns in a glider! He proposes the Army adopt them. "Nonsense," says the Colonel, "he's a crackpot!" No one will go up in a glider, under threat of court martial, as the Colonel rides to a remote outpost. But a messenger says the Arapaho have mined the outpost with flammable materials! Phineas and Foley take off in the glider, intercept the Colonel, and shoot at the fort, igniting it, to drive the Arapaho from cover. The Colonel writes a recommendation for gliders and a citation for Foley!
