Athanael (Jack Benny) falls asleep while playing in a band for a radio show. He dreams that he's an angel in heaven. He's ordered to blow the Last Trumpet for Earth at midnight. The planet has gotten out of hand, and it is to be destroyed. Osidro and Doremus are fallen angels on Earth after being seduced by the place. Athanael causes thief Archie Dexter to break up with girlfriend Fran Blackstone. Fran tries to jump off the building. Athanael saves her but fails to blow the horn in time.
This is a fun premise. I would just rather not have it as a dream. There's no need for the dream construction. This is mildly humorous. Jack Benny is mildly humorous as a fish out of water. Even the scary suicide sequence is mildly humorous. It's all very mildly humorous. That's fine.
