The story

A voiceover by the preacher's son Jeremiah Biggs guides the viewer through the film.

Membership is declining, Henry is pulled in a hundred directions by his parishioners' needs, and the church's finances are in trouble.

Unsure that he can make a difference in his parishioners' lives and beginning to lose his faith, Henry prays to God for help, which comes in the form of Dudley, a witty and debonair angel.
