Handlung
Der resolute Mel Bakersfeld ist Manager des Lincoln International Airports, den er trotz eines über den amerikanischen Mittelwesten herziehenden Schneesturms offen halten will. Währenddessen erhält sein Schwager Vernon Demerst, Chefpilot des Fluges der TGA von New York nach Rom, eine unerwartete Nachricht von seiner Geliebten, der Stewardess Gwen Meighen. Als sich die Situation am Flughafen durch das eisige Unwetter weiter zuspitzt, stellt sich heraus, dass an Bord des TGA-Fluges eine Bombe platziert wurde.
