Synopsis
Rick Richards and his buddy Danny Kohana start a helicopter charter service in
Hawaii. Rick has three gorgeous girls - Lehua, Lani, Joanna - steering customers
to his charter service, and business is so good Rick hires Judy Hudson as a
secretary.
While taking a girlfriend for a ride in his helicopter, Rick loses control and
doesn't regain it till the careening chopper has forced an automobile into a
ditch. The driver of the car is Donald Belden of the Federal Aviation Agency and
Rick is grounded till further notice.
Rick finds that Danny Kohana and his daughter Jan Kohana had a crash landing,
and Rick flies to the rescue. The newspapers have reported the rescue, and the
aviation board may cancel Rick's flying license permanently.
Rick goes to see Donald Belden and explains everything, and the FAA agent
assures him that because of the mitigating circumstances of the rescue he will
not lose his license.
