Richardson plays an oil tycoon and aircraft constructor determined to manufacture a supersonic jet that will travel faster than the speed of sound. Ridgefield's desire to reach this goal has already led to the death of his test pilot son (Denholm Elliott), and his daughter Susan's (Ann Todd) fighter-pilot husband (Nigel Patrick). Shocked at the death of her husband and her father's disregard of human life in his single-minded determination to achieve his goal, Susan walks out on him and goes to live with the wife (Dinah Sheridan) of another pilot (John Justin). Unperturbed, Ridgefield approaches this pilot with the challenge of piloting his test craft.
