Having lost their way on a cross country flight Wilbur and Orville Wright make an emergency landing at your school. As a matter of introducing themselves to the audience, the brothers decide to reenact the story of their great accomplishment. They demonstrate their childhood experiments making improvements on a sled, their bicycle and a kite. The story then turns to their fascination with manned flight. The excitement peaks as the brothers construct the Wright Flyer onstage and recreate their historic twelve second flight.
