When a frequent sinner named Max Devlin dies, he goes to hell, as all bad souls do. But this time, there is a special exception-Barney, the devil's right-hand man, makes Max a deal. If he can trick three good, innocent people out of their souls in two months, he can return to Earth. Max goes off with special powers to make his "clients'" dreams come true. Max manages to get all three suckers to sign contracts giving up their souls, but being around so many good people changes his ways. When he learns that Barney lied and intends to harvest all four souls for himself, Max risks eternal damnation and burns the contracts, freeing his charges.

Watch all the fireworks as Elliott Gould and Bill Cosby star in Disney's delightfully devilish adventure. When ruthless landlord Max Devlin (Gould) is struck by a bus, he meets a diabolical "soul manager" with an offer he can't refuse. Max can return to life on earth if he can convince three innocent people to sign their souls over to the devil within two months. In a riotous race against time, all his targets have other ideas. Featuring the music of Marvin Hamlisch, and talented songstress Julie Budd, this is a magical, romantic comedy the whole family will enjoy.
