Self-proclaimed "master of the world" Robur has invented a giant heavier-than-air airship called the Albatross, and uses it to kidnap stoic police inspector John Strock and balloonist and arms manufacturer Prudent as well as Prudent's daughter Dorothy. He reveals he intends to use the Albatross to force peace on all nations by forcing their militaries to capitulate or face his aerial bombardment.
Unidentified Aircraft
Seen during the opening narration's outlining of the history of flight. Its inclusion (and the inclusion of the other then modern jets and even some of the 1920's-era experimental planes) is odd considering the movie's primary setting in the 1800's.
