Set against a backdrop of China's war against Japanese aggression (1937-1945), the storyline centres on the U.S. army bringing supplies to China by flying over the Himalayas and the love story between an American pilot named Robert (Josh Hannume) and a Tibetan girl (Song Jia) who saves his life when his airplane crashes.

Song Jia is the Tibetan girl in the film while Peter Ho will star as a handsome Tibetan hunter who mistakes the pilot for an Italian fugitive entering Tibet from India. Tino Bao, appearing for the first time on the silver screen, plays a Kuomintang official working in Tibet who vows to find the missing pilot at any cost.
