RAF Squadron Leader Peter Carter's (David Niven) aircraft is shot down by enemy fire over fog during the Second World War. As it falls, and after his crew has bailed out, Carter tries to radio the information to base. Believing this to be his final conversation, he speaks to an American, June (Kim Hunter), and falls in love with her voice. But as he leaps to certain death, something goes wrong - the angels miss him in the fog and he lands on the ground, alive and in front of June. Can he argue with heaven that he should be allowed to stay? And is everything after his jump really a fantasy, brought on by the operation he's got to have in order to survive?
