They are too busy acting in and directing plays respectively to start a family. They are also drifting apart, as Lydia wants to have a child, but Jeff convinces her to put their careers first. When Item proves adamant, Charles decides (after seeing Gary Cooper in The Westerner) to help matters along by taking human form as 'Slim' Charles, a supposedly rich Montanan, and bumping into the Boltons at the racetrack. Jeff sees a potential financial backer (an 'angel' in theatrical slang) for his next play. He gets his playwright, Daphne Peters (Joan Blondell), to try to convince Charles to invest in the production. Since Charles actually doesn't have any money, this proves awkward. However, Jeff's usual backer, Tex Henry (Harry von Zell), shows up. Tex and Charles draw cards to see who will get to put up the money; Tex also makes a side bet of $10,000. Tex wins. All this starts to corrupt Charles. He begins to enjoy human vices. When Daphne's former actor boyfriend, Tony Clark (Jack La Rue), shows up to reclaim his uninterested girlfriend, Charles punches him. Charles also starts drinking and playing modern music (on his harp), much to Arthur's disapproval. Still, Charles has not completely forgotten his mission. He arranges a lavish party to celebrate the Boltons' eighth anniversary, but that does not work as planned. The Boltons decide to break up, and Charles is taken to the mental hospital when he admits that he is an angel. Luckily, when Lydia develops a sudden craving for peanuts, when she could never before even stand the smell of them, Jeff realizes that she is pregnant (with Item), and they reconcile. Krise an der Himmelspforte: Weil ihre geplanten Eltern zu beschäftigt sind, um sie zu zeugen, wird Item (Gigi Perreau) vielleicht nie geboren. Also werden die beiden Engel Charles (Clifton Webb) und Arthur (Edmund Gwenn) entsandt, um dem Broadwayproduzenten Jeff Bolton (Robert Cummings) und seiner in seinen Produktionen spielenden Frau Lydia Bolton (Joan Bennett) den Arbeitsstress abzunehmen. Charles gibt sich als reicher Rancher Slim aus, der Bolton seine nächste Produktion finanzieren will, ist aber natürlich nicht in der Lage, tatsächlich das Geld aufzubringen. Das will aber ein reicher Konkurrent, der mit Charles die Spielkarten kreuzt - währen die attraktive Autorin des Stücks, Daphne Peters (Joan Blondell) auf Slim angesetzt wird. Doch der Stress hat ungeahnte Auswirkungen auf Charles...
