Jack Klugman stars as Joey Crown, a talented trumpet player who can’t seem to catch a break – mostly because he keeps diving to the bottom of a bottle. So one day he pawns his bugle and jumps in front of a truck. A short jaunt through limbo and a meeting with Gabriel later, he figures out that he was born to blow, so he returns to the land of the living, gets his trumpet back and starts to play again.
