Plot summary
Robert Lewis works as a janitor in the company owned by Celine Naville's father, and he spends more of his time on the pulp novel he wants to write. After the firm fires him and hands his job to a robot, his girlfriend Lily leaves him. Robert storms into Mr. Naville's office, takes a gun from a guard and carries Celine off to a cabin in the California woods. She slips out of her restraints with ease but stays, partly for the adventure and partly to spite her father, and proposes a ransom demand. In Heaven, the angels O'Reilly and Jackson have been told that their next couple must fall in love or they will remain on Earth forever, and they take a contract from Mr. Naville to bring Celine back.
