He returns to the plane, saving it again, now from a Nazi-sympathizing crackpot neighbor, with whom he struggles. The crackpot spilled gasoline on himself in the struggle, and when he overpowers Joe and lights a match to the plane, he himself also catches fire, then tumbles over the edge of the pit, and breaks his neck at the bottom. Joe puts out the fire to the plane and is highly praised by the crew for saving their craft, praise he values highly. |
