Jim Lane is a test pilot, whose professional life is dangerous, and whose personal life compensates for that danger by fast living and recklessness. As such, he lives from paycheck to paycheck, and is often in debt, but knows his lucrative job will eventually get him out of those debts. On a coast to coast record attempt speed flight, Jim's plane, the Drake Bullet (named after the company's owner), hits some mechanical problems and Jim is forced to make an emergency landing on a farmer's field in Kansas. The farm belongs to the Barton family, whose straight talking daughter, Ann Barton, falls for Jim, and visa versa. They impulsively decide to get married and live in New York. Jim's sidekick and mechanic, "Gunner" Morris, doesn't know if Jim and marriage go hand in hand, both because of the type of person he is and his profession. Ann too soon learns that she plays second fiddle to Jim's work, she referring to the sky as Jim's mistress. Ann also truly comes to understand the dangers of Jim's work, he who is often required to push the planes beyond their physical limits. With each flight, Ann fears that she will become a widow, as she has seen it before with the wives of Jim's colleagues. Can Jim and Ann's marriage survive the many pressures stemming from Jim's life as a test pilot? 　　译文(3): 吉姆·莱恩是一名试飞员，他的职业生涯是危险的，他的个人生活通过快速的生活和鲁莽来弥补这种危【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。因此，他靠薪水过活，经常负债，但他知道自己有利可图的工作最终会让他摆脱这些债务。在一次创纪录的海岸到海岸飞行中，吉姆的飞机德雷克子弹（以公司所有者的名字命名）遇到了一些机械问题，吉姆被迫紧急降落在堪萨斯州的一块农田上。农场属于巴顿一家，他们直言不讳的女儿安·巴顿爱上了吉姆，反之亦然。他们冲动地决定结婚并住在纽约。吉姆的助手兼机械师；“枪手”；莫里斯不知道吉姆和婚姻是否是齐头并进的，这都是因为他是什么样的人和他的职业。安很快就知道自己是吉姆工作的副手，她把天空称为吉姆的情妇。安也真正理解了吉姆工作的危险性，他经常被要求将飞机推到身体极限之外。每次飞行，安都担心自己会成为寡妇，就像她以前在吉姆同事的妻子那里看到的那样。吉姆和安的婚姻能承受吉姆作为试飞员的生活所带来的诸多压力吗？
