A prison trustee rescues a despondent executioner from a bar-room brawl, and is then blamed for the fight by a tabloid reporter who actually started it. He loses his chance for parole, and gets blamed for the murder of a guard.

Less than a year after the inaugural flight of Pan American Airways' China Clipper captured the public's interest, Warner Bros. crafted a fictional version of the famed seaplane's feat and sent it winging into theaters. Pat O'Brien plays Dave Logan, an aviation visionary and taskmaster who puts his career ahead of his personal life as he launches a small aviation outfit and sees it grow to match his dream of trans-Pacific commercial flight. Ross Alexander, whose promising career would soon tragically end, portrays Logan's right-hand man. And Humphrey Bogart, in a departure from the typical criminal roles in his 1930s filmography, plays the ex-barnstormer and top-echelon pilot who guides the China Clipper's maiden journey. Newsreel footage of the hulking, four-engine "flying boat" augments this film.

A writer being hunted by a pack of wolves is rescued by a fur trader, who guides her and her animals safely out of the Yukon territory.
