Two Americans, Jimmy Carson and Joe Lyons, meet while flying for the Loyalists during the Spanish Civil War. After the Loyalist surrender, they fly freight for a Canadian company based in Gibraltar.

Carson and Lyons meet again during the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War then go their separate ways. In 1961, Lyons is killed when his B-26 is shot down at the Bay of Pigs. Unwilling to admit Americans were involved; the CIA devises a cover story to explain Lyons' death. Years later, Carson decides to investigate and uncovers a bizarre incident...
