Riding on Air is a 1937 American film directed by Edward Sedgwick.

The film is also known as All Is Confusion in the United Kingdom.

Plot

Hapless newspaper writer, editor, amateur pilot, HAM radio operator, and gadget crazy Elmer Lane lives in 1930's rural America. In love with the beautiful Betty, he does everything he can to buy the paper outright; so, he can win her. But, somehow something always comes out of the blue: gangsters, smugglers, murdered mobsters, rival newspaper reporters, con artists, police, new inventions, and small dogs, all get in the way. It's all "Riding on Air" how this fun, wild, ride, will land, or if the parachute will even open.
