The pressure of work and helping his children with their various problems lead to a comedic series of events in which he struggles to keep his job until Thursday to ensure his family's survival without him. One day, he is faced with choosing between staying in an important work meeting and helping his son complete a magic trick at school. He eventually decides that his family's happiness is more important and walks out on his furious boss, Mr. Collins (Barry Corbin), who later fires him.
Dejected, Elliot reveals himself as a ghost to his love interest, Joan (Denise Nicholas) who is initially shocked, but later sympathetic. Edith arrives from London, extremely famished, but with the exciting news for Elliot that he is not dead; he is simply a spirit that jumped out of his body in fright. In the excitement to find Elliot's body and reunite his spirit with it, Diane trips on a pair of skates that Elliot's youngest daughter Amanda left on the staircase, causing her to fall down the staircase and get seriously injured. They rush her to the hospital and Elliot is confronted by Diane's spirit, for she had also jumped out of her body.
