CHAPTER I: The Maverick Flight – Millionaire Ed Daly of World Airways attempts to evacuate hundreds of orphans at his own expense, but is met with opposition from agencies who retaliate against his action-packed rescue of refugees from Danang days earlier. A berated Daly does it again and departs from Saigon with an unauthorized planeload of orphans. CHAPTER II: The Soldier's Ballad – Described is the American soldier's role in Vietnam as rescuer, surrogate father and Santa Claus.
