Plot Outline:
Doe boards a flight for London but his vacation gets off to a rocky start when a murder-mystery unravels in midair. A claustrophobic Doe takes his mind off his troubles by getting to know a pretty fellow passenger, who also happens to be a neurologist. Their conversation is cut short, however, when a minister screams his way into first class and promptly falls dead. Doe's diagnosis of murder is confirmed when his new doctor friend identifies traces of poison on the dead man. But another passenger, a Scotland Yard detective, disagrees with Doe, whose curiosity almost gets him killed when he discovers the source of the poison.
