Decollato da una città cinese durante la guerra cino-giapponese, un aereo con a bordo un console britannico e altri 4 occidentali è dirottato da un mongolo e atterra tra le montagne del Tibet. I passeggeri sono portati a Shangri La, città situata in una valle dalla terra fertile e dal clima mite dove regnano la pace e la longevità. Il Lama che ha più di due secoli e sta morendo vede nel console un suo possibile successore.
