A documentary profile of Pasadena society girl turned adventurer and aviator, Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes. In the 1920's and 30's, Barnes was Hollywood's top woman stunt pilot. In the 1940's and 50's, she owned and operated the (in)famous "Happy Bottom Riding Club" - a fly-in resort located near Edwards Air Force Base.
Pancho Barnes is not as well remembered as various of the men who frequented the Happy Bottom Riding Club, men who to this day have an annual barbecue on its former site.
