Der Engel mit der Trompete (1945)
Athanael ist Trompeter in einem Rundfunkorchester. Eines Tages schläft er zu vorgerückter Stunde mitten in einer Sendung ein. Der Traum entführt ihn in himmlische Gefilde, wo er mit zahllosen anderen entrückten Seelen in wallendem Gewande als Engel Sphärenklänge produziert. Was die Menschen währenddessen auf Erden treiben, erregt im Himmel derartiges Missfallen, dass die oberste Behörde ein Exempel statuieren will. So wird Athanael zum "Chef" gerufen und erhält Anweisung, umgehend auf den Stern zurückzukehren, der seinerzeit allzu eilig geschaffen wurde.
