Slattery's Hurricane.

Dramatizes the regeneration of an ex-Navy pilot, the breaking of a narcotics ring, and the activities of the Florida Weather Bureau's hurricane-warning service.

Lt. Willard Francis "Will" Slattery left the US Navy in part because he was disciplined instead of decorated for a hazardous mission. He became a private pilot for candy manufacturer R.J. Milne, on the recommendation of his girlfriend, Dolores Grieves, his secretary. Slattery is disturbed to find that Hobby is married to his former lover, Aggie, who ended their unhappy relationship years before. The Navy unexpectedly awards Slattery the Navy Cross from his wartime heroics.
