With diplomatic tensions building and the United States facing a possible military confrontation with China, Air Force One mysteriously crashes in the desert while heading to California, killing U.S. President Jeremy Haines (Tod Andrews). While the crash is being investigated, Vice-President Kermit Madigan (Buddy Ebsen) steps up as Acting President. Unfortunately, Haines had left him uninformed of current foreign policies. Madigan must now rely on the former President's aides to fill him in on information he lacks, but the aides have their own agendas. National Security Adviser George Oldenburg (Rip Torn) claims that Haines was preparing to go to war if the Chinese did not back down, while career diplomat Secretary of State Freeman Sharkey (Raymond Massey) asserts that Haines was pursuing a peaceful solution to the problem with China. Madigan's wife Hester (Mercedes McCambridge) sees this as an opportunity to advance his career, but the Washington political community doubts his competence. In dealing with growing tensions and conflicting advice, Madigan struggles to avoid a nuclear war with the Chinese. Meanwhile, it develops that President Haines was not aboard the crashed plane after all.

« En 1917, quelque part en France », un général français décide d'envoyer un volontaire combattre le fameux aviateur teuton, le baron Sam Von Sham. Le volontaire est tiré à la courte paille (d'un balai !), version « inversée » (c'est celui qui a le plus long brin qui « gagne »). Le sort désigne Porky Pig. Mais Bugs l'assomme et prend sa place. Pendant ce temps, « quelque part en Allemagne », le baron fulmine de ne recevoir que des Croix de fer. Après avoir eu quelques déboires avec son avion, Sam s'envole affronter Bugs mais s'écrase sur une falaise. Sam, en prenant un second avion, chute une deuxième fois après que Bugs ait réduit son avion en copeaux de bois. Bugs fait des acrobaties et sam, en voulant lui tirer dessus, met en miettes son avion. Au quatrième avion, Sam chute en même temps qu'il lâche ses bombes. Au cinquième (un quadriplan armé d'une multitude de mitrailleuses), il disloque son avion en voulant le pousser au maximum, et meurt dans sa chute. En voyant ce qu'est devenu Sam, Bugs s'exclame qu'il avait bien entendu parler de l'existence des Anges de l'enfer, mais qu'il n'avait jamais eu l'occasion d'en voir un. En effet, au plan suivant, nous voyons Sam transformé en diable monter au paradis.
