The Net

FASTER THAN SOUND come the sensational thrills in this modern epic of the air!

A group of scientists is building a secret jet aircraft capable of traveling three times the speed of sound. On the day of the test flight, one scientist dies in a mysterious accident, and arguments erupt over how the flight should proceed: some favor ground control, while Heathley (James Donald) insists on a manned flight with himself piloting. Tensions also rise when a fellow scientist, exploiting Heathley's neglect of his wife, Lydia (Phyllis Calvert), makes advances toward her. Amid it all, the question remains: who is the enemy agent on the project?
