A slightly goofy musical which stars Oakie as a hoofer, dead for nearly 18 years, who returns to Earth as an angel to help his young daughter, Peggy Ryan, fulfill her ambition to become a singer, despite the protestations of her grandfather, Lockhart, who doesn't want to see another entertainer in the family. Buster Keaton has a cameo as the guy who handles complaints in Heaven.

Salter), "Nola" (Felix Arndt), "How Come You Do Me Like You Do?" (Roy Bergere, Gene Austin; sung by Johnny Coy), "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home?" (Clarence Williams, Charles Warfield; sung by Irene Ryan), "Bugle Call Rag" (J. Hubert Blake, Carey Morgan), "Ja-Da" (Bob Carleton), and "Do You Ever Think of Me?"
