Linda Carlton is a bright, daring young pilot who has spent the last months mastering her Arrow biplane. Determined to earn a transport license, she balances her love of the sky with family expectations that push her toward a more conventional debut. Her physician, Dr. Ginsley, praises her health and the daring night flight that once saved her father's life, setting the stage for her next challenge.
On a fog‑laden morning, Linda steps onto the porch of the doctor’s house and meets a terrified mother clutching a sick infant. The child's desperate condition—having swallowed a pin—forces Linda into a crisis far from the cockpit, testing her courage and compassion. As the doctor prepares to examine the baby, Linda must decide how far she will go to help, hinting at the personal sacrifices that await her on the road to the skies.
