Synopsis for "Death In the Sky"

Bertha Kircher and a British pilot search for his downed plane in the jungles of Africa. They find it, but are captured by Sergeant Usanga, a leader from the German army. Sergeant Usanga knocks out the pilot and attempts to fly off with Bertha as his captive. Tarzan arrives for the rescue and jumps onto the plane as it takes off. He then throws Usanga from the plane.
