Waiting in Londons Heathrow Airport for a flight to New York City, Frances Andros (Dame Elizabeth Taylor), seen off by her tycoon husband Paul Andros (Richard Burton), plans to leave him for aging international playboy Marc Champselle (Louis Jourdan). Les Mangrum (Rod Taylor), a self-made Australian businessman accompanied to the airport by his loyal secretary Miss Mead (Dame Maggie Smith), must be in New York City the following day to arrange the loan that will help him repel a hostile takeover of his tractor company. Max Buda (Orson Welles), a movie mogul travelling with starlet Gloria Gritti (Elsa Martinelli), must get out of England immediately or face ruinous British income tax. The Duchess of Brighton (Dame Margaret Rutherford) has taken a job as a hostess at an American holiday resort, thinking she will be able to keep her family estate on her new income. Fog descends, blurring the future for them all and forcing them to wait in the airport hotel for morning and fair weather.
When Londons Heathrow Airport is fogged in, several travelers on the postponed flight to New York City are dramatically affected. Frances Andros (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) is running away from her husband Paul (Richard Burton), a rich industrialist who seems to no longer appreciate her. She is accompanied by her new love, Marc Champselle (Louis Jourdan), a suave gigolo who genuinely loves her. Shes left her husband a note at home and the delay lets him find out about her plans and return to the airport to confront her. Businessman Les Mangrum (Rod Taylor) is heading to New York City to stave off the takeover of his company; he must attend the board meeting later that day, but a check hes written might be his downfall. His secretary, Miss Mead (Dame Maggie Smith), finds a solution when she comes across Paul Andros in the hotel lobby. For movie producer Max Buda (Orson Welles), getting out of England involves money: if he isnt out of the country by midnight, he will owe the British taxman a hefty sum. The Duchess of Brighton (Dame Margaret Rutherford) is traveling to the U.S. to earn money to save her manor house and property. Shes never flown before, but a chance meeting with Max Buda provides her with a solution to her problems.
