Upon a newlywed's arrival to his boyhood home with his bride, he starts to have reservations selling the place following his mother's death. However, it doesn't take long for the home to have a magical effect on the couple: time has turned back to when the overbearing mother is back alive and the bridegroom is back living as a little boy, who promptly tells his bride to go away.

Inept guardian angel Harmon Cavender is given a chance to earn his wings by helping an unconventional big city woman, the young, awkward Agnes Grep.
