Irrtum im Jenseits (1946)
Carters Flugzeug wird während einer der letzten Luftschlachten des Zweiten Weltkriegs über England angeschossen. Die gesamte Besatzung außer ihm ist tot, er selbst hat keinen funktionierenden Fallschirm mehr zur Verfügung. Carter erwartet in stoischer Ruhe den sicher scheinenden Tod. Sein letzter Kontakt zur Außenwelt ist die Stimme einer amerikanischen Funkerin, die ihm Mut zuspricht, und in die er sich verliebt. Als Carter zuletzt aus seinem Flugzeug ohne Fallschirm abspringt, überlebt er auf wunderbare Weise. (Wie sich später herausstellt, hat der Engel, der ihn abholen sollte, sich im britischen Nebel verirrt.) Carter trifft June, die beiden werden ein Paar, im Himmel ist man aber über die unvorhergesehene Panne keineswegs glücklich. Der erkrankte Carter wird im Traum über die Himmelsstiege zu einer Art Prozess geholt, der entscheiden soll, ob er tatsächlich am Leben bleiben darf. Natürlich siegt am Ende die Liebe.
