After arriving in the Hereafter by mistake, Prizefighter Joe Pendleton is informed that his body has been cremated and he is sent back to earth as Farnsworth, a wealthy financier who is about to be murdered by his wife. Farnsworth disapproves of Joe's treatment of his body (and money), though, and raises a fuss to have it back. Trouble is - Joe is falling in love and is still not ready to go!
