Hoping to push Britain to the forefront of aviation, a London publisher organizes an international air race across the English Channel, but must contend with two entrants vying for his daughter, as well as national rivalries and cheating.

— There's just one snag, sir.
— Oh?
— It's finding the time for married life.
— What do you mean?
— Well, I'm soldiering all day, and I'm rather busy in the evenings too. Monday I dine in. Tuesday's card night at White's.
— Wednesday?
— Wednesday I play snook with the adjutant. Thursday, uh, well, we like to end up at Romano's. Uh, that only leaves Friday.
— Yes, but what about the weekends?
— Well, that's flying, sir. It's the only time I've got. But I could give up my card night if you like, sir.
— Oh, I don't think that's necessary. We don't want to spoil the girl.
