Heaven Can Wait

An over-anxious guardian angel plucks Joe Pendleton out of his body early, in the mistaken belief that Joe was about to be killed. Pendleton immediately arrives in the afterlife, believing that his time was up. The guardian angel discovers that he was not destined to die until much later (10:17 am on March 20, 2025, to be exact) Unfortunately, his body has already been cremated, so a new body must be found. Joe is persuaded to accept the body of a millionaire industrialist.
