Resumen

En route to Panama where she hopes to get work as a specialty performer, American Bonnie Lee, in the cargo ship on which she is traveling making a scheduled necessary stop, is on a twelve hour layover in the South American backwater port of Barranca. In wanting some familiarity, she bonds with a group of mostly American airmen who work for a small airline operated by Geoff Carter, with his primary investor being John Van Ruyter - affectionately referred to as Dutchy - the owner/operator of the local dive hotel and bar. Most of Geoff's pilots are loyal to him and the work, especially Kid Dabb, even in he asking them often to make dangerous flights, something that doesn't sit well with Bonnie. However in getting to know Geoff and understanding that he doesn't ask his pilots to do anything he wouldn't do himself, Bonnie, deciding to extend her stay for a week, starts to fall for Geoff, even in knowing that he considers relationships with women as nothing but grief especially in his current focus of making the airline a success. Their world is complicated with the arrival onto the scene of a new pilot, Bat MacPherson, and his wife, Judy MacPherson, who not only want to hide their past associations with various people at the airline from everyone in Barranca, but hide the nature of those associations from each other.—Huggo
