On a 4th of July weekend, three barnstorming skydivers arrive to perform in a small Kansas town. They are hosted by the youngest member Webson's (Wilson) aunt, the unhappily married Elizabeth (Kerr). While Browdy (Hackman) one-nights with a topless dancer, a doomed romance flares up between Elizabeth and Rettig (Lancaster). Tension builds, and explodes with a spectacular skydiving show. eb3 Written by Markku Kuoppamäki
