Samson's incredible strength makes him the perfect hero to investigate a string of mysterious airplane explosions plaguing the airways—and when he discovers an invisible ray responsible for the disasters, he recruits a resourceful Boy Scout named David as his partner to help him strike at the source. Deep within a mountain lair, the villain Muller and his employer John Jennsen are revealed to be orchestrating the crashes as part of a ruthless scheme, but they've made a critical mistake in underestimating their captive.
