The film concerns aerial firefighters who fly war-surplus aircraft dropping fire retardant slurry on wildfires. The movie is set in Kootenai National Forest, Montana.

The script is based somewhat on the 1943 movie A Guy Named Joe in that one of the pilots dies and returns as an angel to mentor a new pilot, only to find the new pilot falling in love with his former girlfriend.

Synopsis

Pete (Dreyfuss) and Dorinda (Hunter) have the kind of love that appears all too rarely. After another of Pete's overly "heroic" and risky flying stunts, all the pilots, mechanics and firemen are hanging out at the saloon. Pete surprises Dorinda with a stunning new pink dress for her birthday, although (typical of their relationship) it turns out to be the wrong day. She puts on the dress anyway and all the guys rush to wash their hands so they get a turn dancing with her (Pete holds the towels for them), to the lovely melody of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.

His friend, Al (Goodman), sits him down for a beer and likens their situation to wartime England (Quonset huts, warm beer, and hotshot pilots flying bombers) in order to emphasize the key difference:

Pete, there ain't no war here. And this is why you're not exactly a hero for taking these chances you take. You're more of what I would call a dickhead.

Dorinda confronts Pete:

I could at least understand how you fly if you were risking yourself for civilization. If you were putting your life on the line for another life, anybody's life. (I love you, Pete, but I'm not enjoying it.)

The two flyers call each other â€œAl the Palâ€ and â€œPeter St. Peter,â€ eponymous call signs which reflect their roles with heavy irony. Al is Pete's pal, a big trustworthy guy who really cares about Pete's well-being and is an enthusiastic booster of his relationship with Dorinda. No trace of jealousy or envy mars the purity of his friendship.

After deciding to take Al's advice and take a safe job training pilots in Flat Rock Colorado, Pete risks his life one last time. While on a bombing run, one of the engines on Al's Catalina water bomber catches on fire, and Pete makes a dangerously steep dive to extinguish it with slurry. He saves Al, but his A-26 bomber flies so low it hits one of the burning trees, catches fire and explodes.

The next thing he knows, he's getting his hair cut in a beautiful forest setting, although six months have elapsed in the real world. His barber, Hap (Audrey Hepburn in her final screen role) â€” who is actually an angel â€” explains Pete's new role. Just as he was inspired when he needed it most, now he in turn is going to provide Spiritus ("the divine breath") to others. As she puts it, â€œThey hear you inside their own minds as if it were their thoughts.â€
