Synopsis:

Davis stars as flighty heiress Joan Winfield, whose impending marriage to bandleader Allen Brice (Jack Carson) does not rest well with her oil-rich father Lucius K. Winfield (Eugene Pallette). When Joan announces that she intends to defy her father's wishes and elope with Brice, Winfield hires charter pilot Steve Collins (Cagney) to kidnap the girl and deliver her back home, C.O.D. Nearly bankrupt, Steve goes along with the scheme, but on the return flight his plane crashes in the desert. Realizing that he's only a few miles from civilization, Steve schemes to keep Joan from signalling any potential rescuers by chasing her into an old tunnel and convincing her that they're hopelessly lost. When Joan tumbles to the scheme, she forces Steve to let her marry Brice. The surprisingly cooperative Steve agrees, knowing full well that he still has a few aces up his sleeve.

Charter pilot Steve Collins is able to stay one step ahead of girlfriends who want to marry him and the bill collector who wants to repossess his plane. His latest charter is Joan Winfield, a madcap heiress who is eloping to Las Vegas with vapid bandleader Allen Brice. When Steve finds out that her oil tycoon father vehemently objects to the marriage, he is able to negotiate with him to kidnap his daughter and deliver her to him in exchange for enough money to save his plane and business. Unexpectedly the aircraft goes down in an ghost town inhabited by an idiosyncratic but lovable old man. Trapped in the desert, the improbable couple soon find that opposites attract.

Oil heiress Joan is going to elope with bandleader Allen whom she's known four days. Out-of-money pilot Steve is going to fly them to Nevada but makes a deal with her father to deliver her home unmarried. He flies off with her, an apparent kidnaping, but is forced down in the desert. The bandleader arrives with a preacher, but their marriage (in California, not Nevada) is not valid.
