STORY (Not for Publication) Sam Doyle (Pat O’Brien), famous World War I ace and commercial pilot, makes restitution to the wife and small daughter of his dead co-pilot killed in a crash as the result of Doyle’s drunkeness. Doyle then sails for South America. Years later, his own son, now grown up, attends aviation school as Danny White (Glenn Ford) and is instructed by Major Thompson (Minor Watson), the dead flyer’s brother. Thompson's pretty niece, Susie (Evelyn Keyes) is the school’s sweetheart. Only when Doyle comes to the graduation exercises is Danny’s real identity disclosed to Susie, who freezes, and the Major, who makes the test so difficult that Danny thinks he has failed. He follows Doyle to South America unaware he has passed and that Susie loves him, but returns to join the Air Corps when Pearl Harbor is bombed. Doyle also enlists and is stationed at Danny’s air field. He finds Major Thompson has designed a new plane which Danny is to test. Discovering a defect, Doyle pleads with Thompson to cancel the flight. When Danny insists on making the flight, Doyle knocks the boy out and takes the plane up himself. The plane crashes, but Doyle’s radio reports reveal the essential information. By his heroic work, Doyle has regained his honor and won happiness for his son.
