Lieutenant Droste wants to build an air station in the middle of the ocean to allow pilots on intercontinental flights to refuel and repair any damage to their aircraft. With the help of the pilot Ellissen, he manages to win the support of the Lennartz-Werke for the project. Ellissen, who has taken up with the owner's sister Claire Lennartz, shies away from marriage and seeks new adventure.  After two years, the platform has become a city on the ocean, with runways, hangars, hotels, and shopping centers.  During a storm, the connection to the platform is severed.  The last sounds to come over the telephone were gunshots and screams.  The weather clears and the best pilots immediately head for F.P.1.  Ellissen, in a lovesick depression, is convinced by Claire to fly her to the platform. 

Kapitänleutnant Droste möchte eine Flugplattform mitten im Ozean errichten, um den Piloten der Interkontinentalflüge eine Landebahn zum Auftanken und für Reparaturen an ihren Flugzeugen zu bieten. Mit Hilfe des Piloten Ellissen gelingt es ihm, die Leitung der Lennartz-Werke für sein Projekt zu gewinnen. Ellissen, der mit Claire Lennartz, einer Schwester der Eigentümer, angebandelt hat, scheut vor einer Heirat zurück und sucht ein neues Abenteuer. Währenddessen wird die Plattform unter der Leitung Drostes gebaut.  Nach zwei Jahren ist eine Stadt auf dem Ozean entstanden mit einem Flugplatz, Hangars, Hotels und Einkaufszentren. Während eines Unwetters reißt die Verbindung zur Flugplattform ab. Das Letzte, was über das Telefon zu hören war, waren Schüsse und Schreie. Das Unwetter hält an, und es braucht den besten Piloten, um F.P. 1 anzufliegen. Ellissen, der mittlerweile durch Liebeskummer deprimiert ist, lässt sich von Claire überreden, mit ihr zur Plattform zu fliegen. 

DVD-R is in German with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 106 mins. See film samples for audio and video quality comparisons!

Essential Hans Albers, 6/11/2021 6:41 PM
From: Wolfie
In his book 'Die UFA Stars im Dritten Reich - Frauen für Deutschland', author Friedemann Beyer claims that male characters in German movies of the 1930s and 40s were 'wash rags', dominated by 'strong women'.
Maybe he was confusing this situation with German movies of later decades or maybe he never saw any Hans Albers features.
Using somewhat overly complicated cloak-and-dagger techniques, he-man action hero and flying ace Hans Albers breaks into a shipyard's office, liberates the plans for a floating platform which were drafted by his best friend and thereby draws attention to his friend's brilliant idea.
The platform is built while he is on a round-the-world flight attempt, leaving behind Sybille Schmitz, the daughter of the shipyard's owners.
Somewhat oddly, she suppresses her love for the rogue pilot, falling instead for the designer and dependable captain of the platform, played by Paul Hartmann.
However, sabotage is afoot, shots ring out during an attempted conversation with the Hamburg base and she HAS to find someone to fly her to he middle of the Atlantic to check on her beloved...oh, and the platform......
