Federal Airlines ace pilot Chick Farber is grounded by Flight Superintendent Bill Graves after a doctor says his eyesight is failing. Aided by Mary Norvell and Nan Hudson, Graves persuades Chick to take a job as a teacher in the school for airline hostesses, and Chick and Mary get married. He learns that the army is going to test a stratosphere plane that he and Artie Dixon designed and feels that he should make the first flight, but permission is denied.
