La formule Grand Hôtel qui était si surchargé de travail dans les années 1930 a fait une apparition encore dans Escape to Glory 1940. L'histoire est donnée en temps opportun en plaçant les personnages sur un navire marchand britannique le jour même que la Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée. Le navire est attaqué par un nazi U-Boat, ce qui entraîne dans une variété de réactions des divers passagers - dont l'un (Erwin Kalser) est un médecin allemand. Constance Bennett est glamour, Pat O'Brien est boozy, John Halliday est pensive, et tout le monde (à l'exception du medico allemand) est simple peur.

In 1940, American-built North American Harvard training aircraft are flown to just outside Canada, where they are towed across the border for use by Britain. (The procedure is necessary to avoid violating the Neutrality Acts, as the United States is still neutral.) Cocky American pilot Tim Baker (Tyrone Power) decides to fly across the border to Trenton, Ontario, and winds up in trouble with the military authorities, unconvincingly claiming he was looking for Trenton, New Jersey. Baker ferries a Lockheed Hudson bomber to Britain, pocketing $1,000 for his work.
