The story is about a woman named Julie, an airline hostess. She has decided to marry a South American millionaire named Rico Vargas, despite the efforts of her former boyfriend Lee Darling, a television star, to win her back. Rico's sister, Astra, tries to make a move on Lee, who responds only to make Julie jealous. Just as the plane carrying Julie and all the credited musicians and bands is about to take off, Calypso Joe smuggles Lee on board so he can have a chance to change Julie's mind.
