Film Synopsis
The pilot Jacques Forestier and his mechanic Paul Marcadour miraculously
evade death when their light aircraft crashes in the desert near to Dakar.
It is with the help of a friend, Pierre Aubry, that they manage to get back
to Paris. On the return journey, Jacques recognises an air hostess
as his old flame Claire Magny, with whom he had a passionate love affair
three years previously. Claire is far from pleased to see Jacques.
After he walked out on her she attempted suicide and then gave up her ambitions
to become an actress. Now she is engaged to Pierre and has no intention
of resuming her former love affair with Jacques. Unfortunately, her
feelings for Jacques are far from extinguished and it doesn't take much for
the affair to be rekindled...
