Theodore Honey (James Stewart) is sent from Farnborough to investigate the crash of a Rutland Reindeer airliner in Labrador, Canada. He theorizes the accident happened because of the tailplane's structural failure, caused by sudden metal fatigue after 1440 flight hours. Despite the fact that his theory is not yet proven, he decides to warn the aircrew and Hollywood actress Monica Teasdale (Marlene Dietrich) a fellow passenger. He then takes drastic action to stop the flight, dropping the airliner on its belly and seriously damaging it.
