A jet pilot, Dale Robertson, find himself assigned to the barren wastes of Alaska where it becomes his duty to man an observation post.
Action and romance are combined with an Arctic setting as Robertson, an angered and aging WW II pilot, is sent to Alaska to help Lovejoy set up a weather post. Lovejoy's in love with nightclub owner Keyes, but officer Gates is in love with Lovejoy. Robertson, however, is still bitter over his recent divorce from--you'll never guess--Keyes.
