Handlung
Sergeant Chuck Brennan ist Chefmechaniker auf einem Stützpunkt der US-Air-Force, hat aber schon seit langem den Spaß an seiner Aufgabe verloren. Darum plant er abzumustern, um einen gutbezahlten Posten in der zivilen Luftfahrt anzunehmen. Doch ausgerechnet jetzt verliebt sich seine Tochter Lois in seinen Vorgesetzten, den Bomberpiloten Colonel Jim Herlihy, der als kampfeslustiger Heißsporn einen zweifelhaften Ruf besitzt. So sind für Brennan, dem Herlihy bereits aus früheren Einsätzen in schlechter Erinnerung geblieben ist, persönliche und berufliche Probleme bald hoffnungslos miteinander vermengt.
