An oil barge is driven onto a reef in Long Island Sound. The barge is being pounded by the fierce waves, and if they are not rescued soon, the two men stranded on it face certain death. All attempts to rescue them have failed and the situation looks hopeless. Just across the sound is Igor Sikorsky, brilliant inventor, daring aviator and pioneer of rotary flight. His dream that helicopters will one day be used in life saving, rescue operations is about to be realized. The Sikorsky R-5 helicopter is called in to pluck the men from doom. The rescue attempt is highly risky; the hurricane-like conditions could bring down the pilot and his machine. But Igor Sikorsky knows his pilot and helicopter can do the job.
