Auf einem Flug von Dakar nach Casablanca lernen der bekannte Rechtsanwalt Vandegrift und seine Tochter Jessie den Häftling Peter Roland kennen – allerdings unter denkbar ungünstigen Umständen: Die Piloten sind während des Fluges erkrankt, und nur Peter kann die Maschine sicher landen. Als Gegenleistung verspricht Vandegrift Peter, ihn bei seinem Mordprozess zu vertreten. Peter wird nämlich beschuldigt, den Kinderstar Binnie Casilla entführt und getötet zu haben.

On a flight from Dakar to Casablanca, the famous lawyer Vandegrift and his daughter Jessie get to know the prisoner, Peter Roland  -- but under the most unfavorable circumstances:  The pilots got ill during the flight and only Peter knows how to land the plane.  In return, Vandegrift promises Peter, that he’ll represent him during his murder trial.  Peter has been accused of kidnapping the child star Binnie Casilla and killing her.
