Hiram Stokely (Boris Karloff) is a man who's dead but doesn't know it. A ghostly figure comes to his mandion and tells him how he may enter the gates of heaven, if he is able to perform one good deed in 24 hours.

Poor Jerome Littlefield (Jerry Lewis). He wants to be a doctor but that's not exactly the perfect career choice when you're hopelessly squeamish. So he settles for the job of orderly at the Whitestone Sanitarium, a career move that's guaranteed to keep the patients and viewers in stitches! The fun begins with Sammy Davis, Jr.'s rendition of the film's title song and continues as the bumbling Jerome, a one-man disaster area, triggers chaos every time he tries to lend a helping hand. From causing the patients more trauma to a highspeed ambulance chase, Lewis and his healthy dose of comic mishaps are the perfect prescription for all that ails you.

Overjoyed to have finally signed their divorce papers, incessantly bickering doctor Roger (Tom Conti) and lawyer Jean (Teri Garr) are thrown back into each other's lives when a bungling jewel thief kidnaps them and takes them to the jungles of South America. But helping a sick indigenous woman and experiencing life's other little miracles gives the couple a second shot at true love. Jim Kouf directs this heartwarming comedy.

A man in his coffin receives a visit from a long-dead sweetheart, who offers him a chance to enter Heaven if he performs one good deed within 24 hours.
