An eccentric scientist has been claiming that certain parts of a plane will develop metal fatigue sooner than officially estimated, but nobody takes him seriously. While flying to the site of an air crash that killed a Soviet ambassador, he discovers that his own plane has already flown twice its permitted number of hours and he uses his technical knowledge to sabotage it as soon as it lands, putting his credibility further in doubt.
