Overview
The film begins with a group of angels who are having a conference on Cloud Seven. The Angel Chief (Russell Hicks) has called the conference to talk about a newly married couple, Jeff (Ward Ellis) and Mary (Virginia Gibson), who have been trying to go on honeymoon but are repeatedly forced to postpone due to Jeff's work commitments as a songwriter. The couple's guardian angel, Wilbur (Chick Chandler), is sent down to Earth to help Jeff write a new song for an upcoming musical so he and Mary can finally leave on their honeymoon.
While Jeff struggles to write a new song, Mary daydreams about a new home. With the help of Wilbur, Mary imagines what it would be like to have the latest household products, including telephones provided by Bell. Wilbur then helps Jeff come up with a new song called "A Castle in the Sky", allowing the couple to finally leave on their much anticipated honeymoon.
