Returning to England from a bombing run in May 1945, pilot Peter Carters plane is damaged and his parachute ripped to shreds. He has his crew bail out safely, but figures it is curtains for himself. He gets on the radio, and talks to June, a young American woman working for the U.S. Army Air Forces, and they are quite moved by each others voices. Then he jumps, preferring this to burning up with his plane. He wakes up in the surf. It was his time to die, but there was a mix-up in heaven. They couldnt find him in all that fog. By the time his "Conductor" catches up with him twenty hours later, Peter and June have met and fallen in love. This changes everything, and since it happened through no fault of his own, Peter figures that heaven owes him a second chance. Heaven agrees to a trial to decide his fate.
Returning from a bombing mission over Europe during World War II, Captain Peter Carter is the only survivor aboard his heavily damaged Lancaster. Hes ordered his crew to bail out, but knows hes not going to make it as he cannot land the plane, and his parachute isnt functional. He makes contact with an Allied radio operator, June and she is amazed at his resilience in the face of death. Miraculously, he wakes up on the beach with a headache and not much else. He meets June and they immediately fall in love. There has been a mistake however. He was supposed to die, but was missed by the Heavenly messenger who was unable to collect him due to a particularly thick English fog. When the messenger calls on him to accompany him to the great beyond, he demands the opportunity to defend himself and argues that as a result of the mistake, he has now fallen in love, and should be allowed to live out his life and remain on Earth.
