Two full-fledged angels descend to earth to pick up two elderly souls. One is a tyrannical and miserly old lady who has amassed a fortune by shrewd and domineering means and who is still looking for a way to take it with her – or she’s not going. She has nothing but contempt for her neighbor, an old man with nothing but his love for his cat and his flowers to cheer him, and who is fully resigned to going. Tagging along with the two angels for the experience is a one-winged apprentice who is a master of mischief with a lot of heart. He has a knack for making people fall in love – including one very unlikely pair, the two old folks the angels have come to collect!
