A contemporary love story, updating the original 1943 Victor Fleming film, "A Guy Named Joe," set against 
the backdrop of fighting forest fires.

==========

Pete Sandich and buddy Al Yackey are daredevil aerial forest-fire fighters. Pete finds True Love with 
Dorinda but won't give up the job. When he takes one risk too many, Dorinda faces deep grief and cannot 
easily put her life back together.

==========

Pete is a pilot who drops water on forest fires at very low heights. His intended Dorinda is also a pilot 
who doubles as a radio controller for the pilots who do this work. Pete always takes chances, confident 
that his skill will bring him through. One day it doesn't and he is killed. He finds himself returning as 
an invisible ghost who's presence is barely felt giving advice to his successor. Pete then finds that his 
successor is also falling in love with Dorinda.
