Hungarian Summary:
Eve gazdag és elkényeztetett lány. Egy partin értesül arról, hogy csak akkor kaphatja meg az örökségét, ha igazolja, hogy eltűntnek nyilvánított apja életben van. Ennek kivitelezésére 12 nap áll rendelkezésére. Ez alatt kell eljutnia Afganisztánba, megtalálnia az apját és visszajutnia. Ehhez azonban repülőgépre van szüksége, ezt azonban az előkelő társaságból senki nem tud számára biztosítani, így utolsó kétségbeesésében felkeresi a kissé züllött és faragatlan repülőgéppilótát, Patrick O'Malley-t, aki először hallani sem akar a lány vakmerő tervéről. Aztán a hosszú rábeszélés és a nem csekély összeg felajánlása hatására belemegy a dologba, hogy sok viszontagságon keresztül ne csak a lány apát találja meg, hanem Eve-vel is egymásra találjanak.
English Summary:
Eve Tozer (Bess Armstrong) is a society heiress and flapper living the high-life in 1920s Istanbul. She needs to find her father, Bradley Tozer (Wilford Brimley), before he is officially declared dead or risk losing her inheritance to his scheming business partner, Bentik (Robert Morley). She only has 12 days. Eve hires World War I ace pilot Patrick O'Malley (Tom Selleck) and his aircraft. O'Malley is eager to take the job as he needs to leave town rather urgently himself. Eve, also an accomplished pilot, however, is determined to accompany him in his other aircraft, which causes the first of many arguments on the way from Istanbul and China.
Their journey in two biplanes (named "Dorothy" and "Lillian" after the famous Gish silent film star sisters) through six countries leads them to finally find the eccentric Bradley Tozer in China, where he is helping a small village defend itself against a local warlord. O'Malley and Eve help them win the final battle, but their one remaining aircraft is damaged in the process, leaving her seemingly unable to meet her deadline.
