Storyline:
Nathan Gregory is a World War I veteran pilot who runs a small, debt-ridden traveling carnival along with loyal daughter Jean. Gregory is at odds with five of his former squadron comrades, who he thinks shot him down in 1918 and stole his plans for an incredible invention, a radio=piloted plane. An enigmatic criminal, called "The Eagle", and his gang of toughs skywrites threatening the five businessmen with vengeance for their past misdeeds. Although Gregory is suspected of being the arch-villain, especially after he disappears, hero Craig McCoy and the carnival's midget, strongman, and ventriloquist struggle to expose "The Eagle's" identity.
Craig McCoy and Jean Gregory survive the attack from the avenging skywriting pilot known as The Eagle and who may or may not be Jean's father Nathan Gregory. But Craig instead suspects The Eagle to be one of the directors of the Evans Aero Corp. and that Gregory has been kidnapped. Investigating the factory, Craig discovers that Clark, the board member thought to have been killed by The Eagle, is still alive but unconscious. Jean, meanwhile, reports to a building on Water St. after receiving a coded letter from her missing father. Locating the captured carnival operator, the girl manages to get words to Craig who races to the rescue with The Eagle's henchmen in hot pursuit. As chapter two concludes, Craig's automobile crashes into the Water St. scaffolding carrying the snooping Jean.
Both Craig McCoy and Jean Gregory survive the crash into the Water St. building. Major Evans of the Evans Aero Corp. still believes that Jean knows the whereabouts of her father, Nathan, and suggests calling the police. Using subterfuge, Craig ushers Jean out of the room but instead of escaping, the girl is kidnapped by a masked man. Craig takes up the chase on motorcycle and is able to catch the mystery man, who proves to be Clark of the factory board. Denying that he is The Eagle, Clark is about to reveal the identity of the real mastermind when shot and killed by a hidden assassin. To protect Craig and Jean, Kelly, the carnival barker, confesses to the killing. Craig, meanwhile, follows a real suspect, Gardner, to the top of the carnival Ferris wheel. A struggle ensues and as chapter three concludes, Craig is seen plunging to the ground.
Chapter four of Shadow of the Eagle reveals how Craig McCoy manages to grab hold of a lower part of the Ferris wheel and our hero is soon safely back on solid ground. Poking around at the Evans Aero Corp., the young aviator comes across the kidnapped Nathan Gregory but is no closer to discovering the identity of The Eagle. The search for clues leads to the roof of the factory building where Craig is cornered by some of Gardner's henchmen. As the episode comes to its conclusion, the intrepid fly-boy is hanging precariously from a drainpipe, which is threatening to break away from the building.
