At a remote South American port, Cary Grant is Geoff Carter, the head of a small air freight service trying to secure a major contract while sending pilots through dangerous flights over the Andes. When entertainer Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) arrives in town, she finds herself caught in the tense routines, private loyalties, and sudden losses that shape Geoff’s world. Richard Barthelmess enters the mix as a pilot whose arrival unsettles the group, and Rita Hayworth appears in an early supporting role. Howard Hawks frames the story around hard decisions on the ground and high-risk runs through mountain weather overhead.
