Ted messes up his relationship with a Elaine, an airline stewardess and tries to convince her that he can change. He boards a flight which she has been assigned to continue his plea with her. Later in the flight, many of the passengers realize they received food poisoning from eating fish prior to the flight. It gets worse as they discover that both the pilots also ate fish and soon become unable to pilot the plane. Ted, being an ex-fighter pilot, is the only one on the plane who has a chance to get it back on the ground safely. As he is landing the aircraft, Elaine is impressed once again and decides she can give him one more chance. There are several shots of the plane, as well as other aircraft, however the entire movie is set during the evening making it hard to get good shots.
