Playing flyers flyer Tonie Carter, a competitive aviatrix loosely modeled after Amelia Earhart, she indomitably pushes the aerial envelope, winging from cross-country pilot and champion racer to distance record-breaker with the ambitious goal of around-the-world solo flight. Fred MacMurray (Russells Take a Letter, Darling costar) and Herbert Marshall play the men whose devotion to Tonie is overshadowed by her love of the skies. That love will lead to perilous espionage and a then-timely scenario to explain one of historys most mysterious vanishings.
