Where? Nobody knows since the pilot soon expires. The fuel is getting very low and must land soon, they do crashing in a valley. Again in the air, hour after hour always heading higher and higher into the mountains. And the only non -British one on board the plane American Henry Barnard, mysterious, jovial a typical citizen of that country hiding something? Landing at an isolated mountainous spot not really a runway, getting refueled by people with lots of guns, the passengers are encouraged to stay in the plane, and obey, with few arguments, heroes none here. A missionary Roberta Brinklow a little past her prime the unkind would say. His vice -consul young hot- tempered Charles Mallinson, rather impetuous or just a coward. "Glory" Hugh Conway a British consul, in some half- forgotten and remote city in Asia (suffering shell shock, from W.W.1). Tibet an almost unknown country with few visitors who return back home to report their findings, the apparent destination. The aircraft goes above, around and hopefully not through them, a spectacular view for those with the guts to look, beautiful the Himalayas and frightening too. A "mad" Asian pilot with a gun does, flying east into the tallest mountains in the world. Tibet an almost unknown country with few visitors who return back home to report their findings, the Skyjacked! Unheard of in the early 1930's, yet it did happen to four passengers in Afghanistan, during a civil conflict there sounds sadly familiar. Skyjacked!

(less) Ultimately, the crowd is presented with a choice by Shangri-La's recluse leader, stay forever or leave, but please make a decision. However, feelings of upset and confusion persist among the group: What is going on? What are we doing here? But the monk-like peaceful residents of Shangri-La seem to be hunky dory. How can this be? Yet this place has everything a person needs, and is well cultured too, containing objects from all over the world, even obscure items from the West, like a bathtub from Ohio.

Shangri-La is not on the map, and not a word is hardly ever mentioned of it in the world, if at all. People are confused, upset, but manage to navigate their way to a paradise well concealed in the mountains called Shangri-La.

The plane crashes and lands who knows where (near Tibet?). For anyone looking at this, basically, an event propels an English man with a connection to China to get on a plane with others that are headed East.
