Synopsis:

Captain Vinka Kovelenko defects from Russia, but not for political reasons. She defects because she feels discriminated against as a woman. Captain Chuck Lockwood gets the order to show her the bright side of capitalism, while she tries to convince him of the superority of communism. Naturaly, they fall in love, but there's still the KGB, which doesn't like the idea of having a defected Russian officer running around in London.

Hepburn plays a Soviet military pilot who lands in West Germany and after sampling life in the West in the company of Major Chuck Lockwood (Hope), is converted to capitalism.

Against their better judgment, a romance develops between an Air Force officer and a Soviet aviatrix.
