Oil heiress Joan is going to elope with bandleader Allen whom
she's known four days. Out-of-money pilot Steve is going to fly them to Nevada
but makes a deal with her father to deliver her home unmarried. He flies off
with her, an apparent kidnaping, but is forced down in the desert. The
bandleader arrives with a preacher, but their marriage (in California, not
Nevada) is not valid. Pilot Steve will marry her because her father is a
millionaire.
