Operation Haylift

Bill and Clara Masters and their ten-year-old son Roy live in the rugged ranch lands near Ely, Nevada. Bill's brother Tom has recently returned from service as an Air Force pilot, and Bill is expecting him to help in the ranching operations. One day Bill and Roy are out hunting for a cougar, when they come upon some rustlers loading their cattle into a truck. After they capture the thieves and deliver them to the sheriff, Bill picks up a $5,000 reward from George Swallow of the Stockman's Association and makes plans to use it to buy more ranch land. Bill senses that Tom is unhappy and sends for Tom's girl friend Pat Rogers, whom he met when she was in the W.A.C.

Max has rejoined the Air Force and is about to leave for Germany to fly in the Berlin Airlift. Max rekindles Tom's real desire to resume his flying career... (Verleiher-Text)
