A beguiling fantasy comedy that accompanies a restless spirit from Earth to Heaven and back again. Montgomery has a happy-go-lucky charm as professional boxer Joe Pendleton. When the fighter's plane crashes after a bout, his spirit is removed - too early - from his body by the inexperienced heavenly messenger (Horton). A new body must be found. First, Joe occupies the body of a millionaire about to be murdered in his tub, and later a heavyweight boxer who runs afoul of the Mob.
When professional boxer Joe Pendleton's spirit is accidentally taken fifty years too early, it is up to the celestial executive Mr. Jordan to find him a new body.
