A fenale military pilot (Katharine Hepburn) flies from Russia to Germany after her former lover, She is sent to London with an American officer (Bob Hope) as each try and convince the other their system is better. As they develop feelings for each other the Russian military come looking for her to send her home as a traitor. Despite the presence of Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn this is a poor film that is let down by a weak script and a general lack of comedy.
