During WWII, Ted Stryker (Dana Andrews) was an Allied (Canadian) Air Force pilot. During his last mission as a squadron leader in 1945, he feels six of his men died because of a misjudgment on his part. He has not forgiven himself ever since for those deaths. Eleven years later back in Winnipeg, his life has not progressed because of his inability to deal with that tragedy. Just when his professional life seems to be getting back on track, his wife Ellen (Linda Darnell) leaves him, taking their son Joey (Ray Ferrell) with her. Despite not having been in a plane since WWII and feeling mentally unprepared to do so, Ted follows Ellen onto a flight to Vancouver. Tragedy strikes aboard the flight when half those on board - including the pilot (Elroy 'Crazy Legs' Hirsch), co-pilot (Steve London) and Joey - are stricken with food poisoning. It is not only a rush to land the plane quickly in Vancouver to take those sick to hospital (all closer airports being closed due to inclement weather), but also trying to find someone on board not sick to fly the plane. Ted is their only hope. Ted gets some assistance on the mechanics of the newer airplane technology from Captain Martin Treleaven (Sterling Hayden) on the ground at air control in Vancouver. Martin, who was a flying colleague of Ted's during WWII, also has to act as therapist to help Ted get over the thoughts of the tragedy from 11 years earlier.
