Robert Taylor stars as the rookie cadet assigned to a crack fighter squadron in Flight Command. The Hell Cats squadron members resent Ensign Alan Drake (Taylor), fresh out of the academy at Pensacola, who's been assigned to join their ranks. To make matters even worse, his constant attentions alienate Lorna Gray (Ruth Hussey), their commander's wife. But a lost plane, an air crash, an impenetrable fog and a surprising act of heroism give the rookie the chance to earn the squadron's respect.
