Howard Hughes directs this epic drama set during the First World War. Monte Rutledge (Ben Lyon), his brother Roy (James Hall) and Karl Arnstedt (John Darrow) are friends at Oxford who find themselves fighting on opposite sides after the outbreak of the Great War. Monte and Roy join the fledgling Royal Flying Corps while Karl does his best to limit the damage to London from the Zeppelin bombing raids he commands.
Meanwhile, Monte and Roy´s relationship is strained by their rivalry over Helen (Jean Harlow), and by Roy´s cowardice when it comes to a dangerous mission they are assigned. When the two brothers are shot down behind German lines, Roy has to do the unthinkable to stop a shell-shocked Monte from revealing vital information to their German captors
