The Brauberg Dam needs to be bombed. Savage thinks that a specially equipped P-51 with two 500 lb bombs can take it out. He asks Lieutenant Paul Stiger, a Kentucky farm boy who takes risks and volunteers for all special missions. Stiger volunteers, then wins the football pool for £ 20,000. He begins to realize that there is much more to life than he had thought. Lieutenant Crain becomes his friend and tries to help him. Stiger falls in love with his girlfriend, Myra, and wants to get married. Savage denies his request. He goes on the mission and survives. He then marries Myra with Savage's permission.
