(Passion in the open skies of California... Flying airplan...)
Passion in the open skies of California... Flying airplanes was redheaded Kate MacLean's dream. But her father, a struggling airplane builder, scoffed at the notion of a woman pilot. And his young engineer, Scott Nichols, agreed, despite his love for Kate. Undaunted, Kate kept the embers of her dream alive. The Scott's brother Gregg came along and stroked them into full fire. Kate ran off with the handsome barnstormer, performing death0defying aerial stunts in their very own Flying Circus. But tragedy brought the "Daredevil Beauty" home, and she went to work running her father's aircraft company. She had triumphed as an aviatrix and barely overcome the ravages of grief when she faced her greatest challenge: Scott Nichols, the man who blamed her, hated her...and desired her.
