Eve Tozer (Armstrong) is the headstrong and relentless daughter who hires O'Malley but disapproves of his manners, hygiene, drinking habits, flying skills… you name it and she complains about it. He agrees to the deal in exchange for a small fortune as he is risking his life and pair of flying machines by piloting into extremely dangerous parts of Asia.
