Synopsis

Dismissed from an airline, a pilot starts a small service catering to couples travelling for weddings and divorces. His partnership with a stewardess is already complicated by jealousy when spies board one of their flights. A stolen military device turns a routine passenger trip into a hijacking and a dangerous struggle for survival.

Cast

Behind the scenes

Pine-Thomas built its early production programme around economical aviation adventures starring Richard Arlen. His association with flying helped support the films' appeal, while a Paramount distribution arrangement gave the new independent company access to a broader market.
