Karl Ritter is the proprietor of a small air transport service in British Columbia. He is grounded when he fails a fitness test and is urged to take on Kate Ashcroft as substitute pilot. Karl has his misgivings about a woman as pilot but he has little choice if his business is to continue. So he agrees to undertake an Unlikely Alliance.

Doctor Crawford suspends Karl Ritter's flying licence for health reasons. Ritter runs a domestic airline service in a small district.
