Rebecca misinterprets a phone call as news that Baloo is dying. When Baloo finds out, he decides to fly to the Bearmuda Trapezoid, from which no pilot has ever returned.
As Baloo is heading out on errands for Rebecca, he finds himself on the receiving end of her concerns over his health, resulting from a recent news story about a pilot who crashed after getting a case of the hiccups. Meanwhile, Kit, playing at flying the Sea Duck in a dogfight, accidentally breaks a component. He takes it to Doctor Ohmeyer in hopes of getting it repaired, at the same time Baloo is at a doctor's appointment. Baloo reports that he's got a clean bill of health, apart from a few pending test results.
Doctor Ohmeyer calls Rebecca and reports that the component-or "the patient" as he calls it-can't be saved; Becky mistakes his call as being from Baloo's doctor and believes that Baloo is terminal. After some awkwardness, Rebecca tells Baloo the news, and Baloo decides to do the one thing he's always dreamed of doing: flying into the Bearmuda Trapezoid. Becky is initially reluctant, given its reputation for lost planes and pilots, but eventually gives in before promptly checking if a lost plane is covered by her insurance company. Baloo then takes Kit out to throw horseshoes without confessing to his supposed imminent death.
The next day, Baloo takes off in the Sea Duck, and Kit comes to confront Rebecca over an advertisement she's placed for a new pilot in Flyboy Magazine. Rebecca tells Kit the bad news, but the misunderstanding is soon cleared up, and Kit and Rebecca try to reach Baloo, who is flying with a broken gyrocompass. Baloo is unable to turn back due to a storm, and crash-lands on an island in the midst of the trapezoid. He is then taken prisoner by mad airplane designer Howard Huge, who has used the island to construct a massive craft that he's dubbed the Titanium Turkey. Baloo then finds himself imprisoned with other pilots Huge has captured in the course of twenty years: the Kittyhawk Kids, Amelia Airhead, Charles Limburger, and Oscar Wiggerstumper.
Having borrowed a plane Kit, Wildcat, and Rebecca arrive on the island, and Kit recognizes Huge shortly before the three are apprehended by his goons. As the three and Baloo attempt to find a way out of the wrecked plane they're being held captive in, Baloo becomes convinced-through Wildcat's comments-that not only is he dying, but so is she. He thus tries to be kinder to her, and then leads the others in attempting to lure Huge away from the Turkey. They succeed not with a roast bird, but with a chocolate bar carried by Wildcat, and then take to the air in the Turkey. However, using a giant super-magnet he has been using to bring down planes for years, Huge tries to pull the craft back to the island.
