O'Banion's dealings, however, are only a pretense, for he is actually a Communist who intends to hijack the plane to Cuba-and quickly sensing that the young draft dodger might be a willing accomplice, he persuades Niles to join Tom and Vixen on the flight. This time he has brought back a bearded Irishman, O'Banion, who has hired Tom to fly him to San Francisco.
