Synopsis

Recently married, ex-paratrooper Harry Rowe and his wife, Beth, run a skydiving school in California, assisted by Casey's Army buddy, Joe. Wealthy young Suzy Belmont threatens to destroy the school after Harry discourages her flirtations, and tensions increase as Joe becomes attracted to Beth. Suzy loosens some wires on Beth's plane and nearly causes a crash. The school is temporarily closed by the authorities after a daredevil free fall enthusiast waits too long to open his parachute and is killed. As Harry prepares for a night jump, Suzy and Frankie Bonner, an accomplice, pour acid into his parachute, and he falls 16,000 feet to his death. Suzy and Frankie are pursued by police and meet a violent end.
