 Boxer Joe Pendleton, flying to his next fight, crashes...because a Heavenly Messenger, new on the job, snatched Joe s spirit prematurely from his body. Before the matter can be rectified, Joe s body is cremated; so the celestial Mr. Jordan grants him the use of the body of wealthy Bruce Farnsworth, who s just been murdered by his wife. Joe tries to remake Farnsworth s unworthy life in his own clean-cut image, but then falls in love; and what about that murderous wife?
