Air-borne adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A Canadian passenger plane finds itself in trouble. Accidental ptomaine poisoning strikes all passengers that were served baked halibut instead of pork chops. The pilot Captain Bill Wilson(football legend Elroy 'Crazylegs' Hirsch) manages to keep control of the plane a bit longer than his co-pilot. The only one on board with remote ability to land the plane is Lt. Ted Stryker(Dana Andrews), who flew fighter planes in WWII. A problem exists with Stryker; he has never lived down losing fliers during the war and hasn't attempted to fly in ten years. Reluctantly he takes over the plane with his estranged wife(Linda Darnell)as his co-pilot. Other players include: Sterlling Hayden, Geoffrey Toone, Peggy King and Jerry Paris.
