Bombay Clipper is a 1942 aviation drama film directed by John Rawlins and starring William Gargan and Irene Hervey.
[3][4] Foreign correspondent Jim Montgomery (William Gargan) agrees to quit his job when his fiancée Frankie (Irene Hervey) threatens to return home to San Francisco without him, tired of his profession always coming first.
He remains in Bombay, India for one more assignment, investigating a report of missing jewels, valued at four million dollars.
With the case still unsolved, Jim and Frankie board a flying boat to Manila, unaware that the gems are aboard.
George Lewis (Lloyd Corrigan), another passenger, admits to being a courier for the diamonds, saying they are meant to be a gift to a foreign dignitary.
