Plot Overview

Peter is an underpaid businessman, who one day, on his way home from work, just happens to discover a dancer, Marla, trapped in an abandoned mine. With the help of our friendly angel, Andrew, Peter saves Marla by holding a fallen beam in place for over five hours. When rescue personnel arrive, however, they are amazed that Peter held it for so long. Needless to say, he hasn't mentioned Andrew, and he eventually becomes very famous for his good deed. Caught up in the moment, Peter fails to acknowledge Marla's pain when she realizes she has lost her lifelong dream.
