Robert is a young American pilot flying charter jets in Asia for Philippine Airlines; a lucrative and often exciting job. Then he meets beautiful Vivien, and falls in love with the sweet Filipina. This didn't sit well with wealthy Miguel, her admirer who thinks he can buy anything and anyone, including Vivien. Failing at tempting her away from Robert, he resorts to hiring a gang to kidnap Vivien for a $15-million-dollar ransom. Knowing that Robert doesn't have that kind of money, Miguel is certain Robert would be forced to come begging him for help with paying the ransom. He'd help, of course, with some strings attached. Could there be a more ingenious way to win the rivalry? Maybe...or maybe not - when that rival is Robert.
