SummaryCaptain Jim Leslie, pilot of the US Air Force, is transferred to a remote Alaska base not far from the Soviet border. Here he meets his old friend Harris again and falls in love with Brenda, the daughter of the commander. As a result, he comes into conflict with their fiancé, Senator Gordon Gray. At his behest he is assigned to a dangerous mission with Harris and the navigator Hester: During a storm, the buoys used to locate Soviet submarines must be checked. During an emergency landing on an ice floe, Harris injures himself fatally. One is in Soviet area of interest, but in view of the situation Jim disregards the radio ban and sends an emergency signal. A Soviet submarine appears, Harris is operated, and they are helped to get the plane ready. Once we get to the base, Jim gets arrested. Brenda turns away from him.
