AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Danny Daredo, accompanied by Misery Mike, sets out to establish new records. Carried thousands of miles out of their way by a terrific hurricane, they make a forced landing in the fabled realm of Arcady—a wondrous country of strange manners and customs. The two aviators being ignorant of the country’s rigorous customs, their stay in Arcady is one long chapter of entertaining whimsicality.'
