Plot – Harley Topper is an US Air Force pilot who lives in a tepee with a wise man fond of rock music. Back to base, he meets a beautiful rider who can make terrific evolutions in the air and who will reveal then as his psychiatrist, Ramanda Thompson. They will fall in love soon. Other characters are Tub Berson, the base commander who's totally foolish; his deputy, who's making plans with rivals; Ken, Topper's rival pilot and Dead Meat, who's really very unlucky. They all have a mission which, despite the sabotage of some corrupted industrials, will be successful.
