Two young angels set out to redeem a cynical, all-round heel of a businessman/husband/father, who promptly gets killed in an accident. From heaven he is shipped back to earth inside the body of his former chauffeur. The latter having access to intelligence that eluded his boss, such as the wife's fooling around. In this metaphysical comedy, love conquers all and an old chestnut is revived: heaven can wait.
