Here's the plot description from imdb.com:
Mike and Danny fly a cropduster, but because of Danny's gambling debts, a local sheriff takes custody of it. Trying to earn money, they hitch-hike to the World's Fair in Seattle. While Danny tries to earn money playing poker, Mike takes care of a small girl, Sue-Lin, whose father has disappeared. Being a ladies' man, he also finds the time to court a young nurse, Diane.
The fair grounds are now called Seattle Center and many of the buildings seen in the movie still exist today. The Center is a frequent location for regional festivals and home to the Seattle Sonics and Seattle Storm(Key Arena), the Pacific Science Center, the Experience Music Project, The Sci-Fi Museum and Hall of Fame, the Space Needle, the Monorail, the Pacific Northwest Ballet and the Seattle Children's Theater.
