An old man with wings comes to earth as an angel to help an couple with their sick child. It does not work out very well for the Angel as he gets locked up in the chicken coup. The local Priest tries to sort it out without much success. Visitors come to view the Angel and the mother of the sick child charges an entrance fee to see the Angel.. The mother and father of the child become rich and build a big house. Later the Angel frees himself from the chicken coop and flies away.
