Robert Schumann (Robert Stack), un piloto que combatió en la Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918), sobrevive haciendo acrobacias con su avioneta en las ferias de los pueblos. Burke Devlin (Rock Hudson), un periodista local que se interesa por la familia de Schumann, es testigo de la decadencia del piloto, de la frustración de su mujer (Dorothy Malone) y también del sufrimiento de su hijo a causa de las bromas que mecánicos y pilotos hacen a costa de su padre. Schumann, sin embargo, no ceja en la búsqueda de una oportunidad que le permita, además de recuperar el amor propio, demostrar a su familia que los antiguos sueños aún son posibles.
Rollo and Lane just happen to be tossed off the train at White Beach where Robert Story -Air ace and writer- is supposed to stop. It is a case of mistaken identity as no one knows what Story looks like. So they get free room and meals at the Palm Inn and everything is going well until they want Story to fly in the race on Saturday. Rollo has never even be up in a plane, never mind fly one, so he must figure a way out. But the girls have everything bet on his winning the race. Written by Tony Fontana
