She meets a Navy pilot named "Tex" Price and tries to gain his aid. Tex soon meets another pilot, Gerry, a novice who seeks to win an important upcoming race. Tex, concerned for Gerry's safety, tries to convince her not to race. But Gerry, now a rival of Trixie's, is determined to fly.

Alice Faye tries really hard here as "Trixie" who begs, blags and borrows in order to take part in the "Powder Puff" air race across the USA - the prize is a whopping great $100,000! Her main competitor is the wealthy "Gerry" (pronounced "Gary" - Constance Bennett). What now ensues is a rather procedural rivalry drama peppered with a rather melancholy song from Faye and some really quite good aeri...
