Oh, What A Beautiful City!

Synopsis:
The angel Gabriel announces to Mayor Crampton Griswold of New York City that he is to select a committee to take an examination that, if passed, will win Heaven for all mankind immediately without waiting for Judgement Day. The Mayor, who cannot see past the next election, chooses party stalwarts though, by a fluke, there is one qualified person appointed, the teacher, Ruth McLlnden. While on earth, Gabriel, for old time's sake, announces the forthcoming birth of her child to April, the wife of the Mayor's chief clerk, Leslie Parry. Not wishing to leave anyone behind who might leak news of the enterprise before the deal is all sewed up, the Mayor takes the Parrys and Branch Mayson, a black clerk and friend of Leslie, along on the expedition. The examination consists of recognising Heaven when you see it. Ruth, the Parrys, and Branch are able to do so, but only Ruth has a say, and the Mayor and his friends easily outvote her, and, as usual, humanity misses out.
