Two young officers in the Italian Royal Air Force (Knight and Stuart) compete for the hand of the attractive Elena (Greta Hansen) and find their comradeship strained as a result. Both try to impress her with daredevil aviation stunts which become increasingly reckless as they try to outdo each other in bravery. Finally, Knight goes too far and crashes his plane on a mountainside. Putting rivalry aside, Stuart risks his life to save his injured colleague, and both realize that their friendship is more important than silly squabbling over a woman. They leave the choice to Elena. A co-production between Britain's Teddington Studios and Italy's Pittaluga studios.
