"Mrs. Mike," featuring Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes, follows a couple's arduous journey through the Canadian wilderness after traveling 327 miles by dogsled, only for Kathy to discover their child has died from an epidemic while Mike was away on a mission. The second story, "The Big Wheel," starring Mickey Rooney, depicts a young man's ambition in the racing world, culminating in a tragic accident during a race that results in a death, though the circumstances remain unclear as an investigation determines whether it was truly an accident or something more sinister.
In the rugged wilderness of the Canadian North, a young woman from Boston named Katherine Mary O'Fallon arrives to stay with her uncle, John O'Fallon, and quickly finds herself drawn to Sgt. Mike Flannigan, the rugged Mountie who oversees the remote outpost. As their bond grows through shared challenges and quiet moments, from teaching her to ride a horse to facing the harsh realities of frontier life, their connection deepens—until a heartfelt confession and a moment of vulnerability test the strength of their feelings.
Jerry Colonna recounts his early life and rise in music, from his awkward school days and accidental vocal prowess to forming the band The Six Jacks, whose disastrous Bermuda concert leads to a quick departure—only to be saved by a convention’s unexpected stay. Flashbacks reveal pivotal moments, including his meeting with Bob Hope at a Hollywood party that launched his radio career, and his humorous struggles with trombone and drums. The story captures his journey from misfit student to celebrated entertainer with charm and self-deprecating wit.
Billy Coy, still grieving his father’s death at the track, teams up with Red Stanley after a series of setbacks, including being dismissed by other teams and struggling with mechanical failures. As he prepares to race at Indianapolis, tensions rise when Red’s stolen supercharger is found in Billy’s car, forcing him to prove his innocence and earn a second chance.
