Samantha thinks her summer is ruined after finding out she must spend it with her grumpy grandfather, the Colonel. When she learns the Colonel has a secret--he built an airplane and is entering it in a competition--Samantha discovers she has more in common with him than she thought. Although the dialogue is wooden, the bond between Samantha and the Colonel is convincing.
