"Flight From Glory" is a 1937 B movie about a run-down air cargo company in South America in the early days of aviation.

Plot

Ellis (Onslow Stevens) runs an air service transporting supplies from a tiny, remote outpost over the Andes Mountains to some mines, using worn-out planes and pilots no one else will employ. He hires George Wilson (Van Heflin), and is surprised when he brings his new wife Lee (Whitney Bourne). Chief pilot Paul Smith (Chester Morris) tries to get her to leave, but the Wilsons have no money. As time goes on, George proves to be a drunk. Paul protects him as best he can, as he has fallen in love with Lee. She eventually confesses that she loves him.

When George is too drunk to fly, Garth Hilton (Douglas Walton) takes his place and is killed in yet another crash. George then forces Ellis at gunpoint into an airplane and takes off. In the mountains, George jumps to his death, leaving Ellis to die like too many others he had hired. Paul and Lee leave together.
