Output (English): Disgruntled with the service, in part because he was disciplined instead of decorated for a hazardous mission, Lt. Willard Francis Will Slattery left the US Navy and became a private pilot for candy manufacturer R.J. Milne, on the recommendation of his girlfriend, Dolores Grieves, Milnes secretary. He lives an easy life, until the day he literally bumps into Lt. Hobbie Hobson, an old Navy buddy. Amused that Hobson stayed in the Navy, he nonetheless accepts an invitation to fly along on a weather flight into the heart of a hurricane. Slattery is disturbed to find that Hobby is married to his former lover, Aggie, who ended their unhappy relationship years before. At dinner for the two couples, he pretends to have just met her, but Dolores immediately suspects their past attachment. Slattery invites Hobby to fly with him the next day, maneuvering Aggie into coming along, to show off his lifestyle, and introduces them to Milne and his shady partner, Mr. Gregory. Slattery tricks Aggie into meeting him alone while Hobby is away, and although she initially rejects his fast one, he seduces her. Dolores confronts Slattery and they argue over his betrayal of Hobby and the effect his job is having on him. He soon discovers Dolores not only moved out, but quit her job as well, alarming Milne and Gregory, who fear she knows too much about their dealings. In the meantime, Slatterys affair with Aggie continues. Milne has Slattery fly him to a remote Caribbean island, where Milne has a heart attack. Slattery tries to save his life on the flight back, and discovers that Milne is smuggling drugs, taped to his chest. Milne dies and Slattery keeps the parcel. Dolores telephones him and warns him again to get out, but he gets drunk instead. Gregory beats him up to get back the parcel, but Slattery counters with a warning that he has hidden information about the smuggling ring in a safe deposit box, should anything happen to him. The Navy unexpectedly awards Slattery the Navy Cross from his wartime heroics. Dolores attends the ceremony, but when she sees Slattery embrace Aggie afterwards, collapses and is hospitalized in a psychiatric ward for pharmacopsychosis, or drug addiction. Slattery is called in by her doctor and castigated for his role in her illness. He leaves his Navy Cross with Dolores and goes to Aggies to end the relationship. A drunken Hobby is there, however, having discovered the affair. He beats an unresisting Will, but is ordered to report for a hurricane mission. Slattery sees that Hobby is in no condition to fly the mission and knocks him out to prevent it. He then steals his employers plane and flies into the storm... Slattery flies into the eye of the hurricane and reports its position. His warning is instrumental in saving Miami from serious loss of life and property, but in returning to Miami, he loses an engine. Believing he will crash, he also radios the tower about the location of the drugsmuggling information. When the plane does crash, he unexpectedly survives. Slattery is accepted back on active duty, and by Dolores.
