Evalyn Knapp plays a TWA air hostess attracted to a grandstanding pilot, despite the better advice of the blind mechanic and other employees who watch over her.[4]) Knapp was being touted as a future star, with a starring role in Sinners' Holiday (1930), but eventually lost her A-status and was relegated to such B-fare as Air Hostess.[citation needed]
