Based on the characters created by popular fantasy author CAPT. W. E. JOHNS, this action fantasy gem casts NEIL DICKSON in the title role as James 'Biggles' Bigglesworth. Biggles is a World War I British flying ace with a gift for time travel. Sucked into Biggles' adventures is 1980s fast-food entrepreneur Jim Ferguson (ALEX HYDE-WHITE). One moment he's worrying about whether the creamed corn looks like a dog's breakfast and the next he's running toward a downed British bi-plane in the middle of a blasted battlefield, with whiz bangs falling around. He rescues the pilot... who is Biggles. Only when Jim lands back to his own time does he get an explanation, from no other than PETER CUSHING in his last screen role as the aged Air Commodore William Raymond, Special Air Force (Retired) who has quarters in 1A, Tower Bridge, London. Raymond was Biggles commander back then. He explains to Jim the phenomenon of time twins, something modern scientists still are only beginning to understand. When one of the time twins is in danger, his twin will be sent instantly through time and space to help. More importantly, he explains the vital importance of Biggles' effort to locate and destroy this new German weapon that emits high-pitched powerful sound waves that can destroy buildings and kill human life. Also along for the ride in this whacked out Z-Grade gem is Jim's girlfriend Debbie (FIONA HUTCHISON) and some very 80s music on the soundtrack.
