Storyline:
As the opening of chapter nine of Shadow of the Eagle reveals, the carnival owner, Gregory, is merely knocked unconscious. Craig points a finger at a very suspicious Major Evans, but the wily director instead accuses Green, another member of the board. Through trickery and deception, the bill of sale that may reveal the identity of The Eagle is passed back and forth between Evans, Green, and Craig with the latter emerging the victor. Unfortunately, The Eagle's henchmen are hiding in the getaway car and during a furious struggle for possession of the slip, Craig is thrown right in the path of an oncoming automobile.
Although he manages to avoid the oncoming vehicle by rolling away in the last second before impact, chapter 10 of Shadow of the Eagle reveals that Craig McCoy remains a captive of The Eagle's gang. By using trickery, however, the young flyer sends Boyle and Moore on a wild goose chase and then threatens Green to reveal the truth of the much vaunted bill of sale; the fact that the board of directors of the Evans Aero Corp. purchased Gregory's invention from one Frederick P. Kelly, the same Pat Kelly, in fact, who's in jail for murdering board member Clark. Interrogated by Jean and her father, Kelly admits to having stolen the invention and is about to reveal the of The Eagle when he, too, is shot by an unseen assassin.
Although he appeared to have been killed by The Eagle in chapter 10 of Shadow of the Eagle, chapter 11 reveals that Pat Kelly survived the attack and, although badly hurt, made it back to the carnival. When another skywriting plane lands without a trace of a pilot, Jean, who climbs onboard, discovers that it is in fact radio controlled by The Eagle. But before the girl can escape, the mystery villain pulls a lever and the plane takes off. Craig discovers the control room and is about to take over the command of the plane when knocked out by the mystery villain.
The final chapter of Shadow of the Eagle reveals that just prior to being knocked out by the masked villain Craig McCoy managed to land the radio-controlled plane carrying Jean by pulling a lever on the control board. With the assistance of Danby and the ventriloquist Henry, a quickly recovered Craig sets a trap for The Eagle. When the mystery villain arrives at the carnival to do away with the pesky but heavily bandaged Kelly, he is shocked to find Craig instead. The villain's identity revealed, the remaining board members vote the now vindicated Gregory to join the Evans Aero Corp.
