The film centers on Mike Halligan (Mickey Rooney), a retired cop, who suffers a fatal heart attack while putting up Christmas lights days before Christmas. While waiting in the queue before the gates of Heaven he makes a deal with an archangel to return to life on Earth for a few more days in order to fulfill a promise to take his grandson (Scott Grimes) to New York City for the Christmas holidays. In exchange, he has to find a wayward angel (William Griffis) and tries to restore the Christmas Spirit to New York City.[2]
