Outline

General Savage believes that Gallagher, part of a military family, is too quick to abort missions at the first sign of engine trouble. Savage rides Gallagher hard, assigning him a crew of slackers and misfits and ordering Gallagher to paint the name “Leper Colony” on his plane. Gallagher turns his crew into an efficient outfit but he despises Savage and wants to do anything to get a transfer.
