Mr. Jordan is checking the passengers who are to depart for the Hereafter. His routine is interrupted by the arrival of Joe Pendleton, an attractive prize-fighter who refuses to admit he is dead. He induces Jordan to look up the "records" which reveal that Joe is not scheduled to arrive for another 60 years! But, as Joe starts to return to earth to continue his fighting, word reaches Heaven that Max Lavene (Joe's manager) thinking he had been killed, had Joe's body cremated, and Joe has no body to return to. Jordan promises to find Joe another body... but to what conclusion?
