An American transport squadron led by former General Lee supports the French colonial army in Vietnam in return for high pay.

Chief pilot Bryk refuses to fly, secretary Flessy becomes the unscrupulous general's mistress after one lover after another fails to return from a mission, and the rest of the squadron is shot down during an ammunition flight.
