Description: Falling asleep during the Paradise Coffee ('The Coffee that
Makes You Sleep') Program, the band's third trumpeter dreams he's Athanael,
an angel deputized to blow the Last Trumpet at exactly midnight on Earth.
But Osidro and Doremus, two fallen angels enjoying the physical pleasures
of an earthly existence, try to steal Athanael's trumpet, enlisting the aid
of suave jewel thief Archie Dexter. Athanael fumbles his first try when he
saves Archie's accomplice, Fran, from suicide. His second chance seems doomed
when he's forced to leave his trumpet as security for a meal he can't pay for.
But he gets it back just in time for a final confrontation with his desperate
adversaries, dangling with them from the roof, only seconds from Midnight.
"The horn blows, while the movie sucks..."
Trivia: In 1949 Jack Benny reprised his role as Athanael on radio for 'The
Ford Theater' production. Claude Rains also appeared in the program.
