Dick was a rising young business executive who life is turned upside down when his younger brother Tom reenters his life. This wouldn't be too unusual, but Tom had died two years earlier in a boating accident and is now an apprentice angel always trying to help others, but frequently only makes things worse, which forces the young angel to call upon his earthly brother to sets things aright.
Tom Smothers returns to earth as an apprentice angel, and takes up residence in the bachelor apartment of his living brother, Dick. Inept and ordered to assist people in distress, Tom reluctantly
assisted by Dick, struggles to complete his assignments and acquire the status needed to become a full-fledged angel.
Theme song sung by Dick & Tom Smothers
♫
"Tonight you'll meet
Two brothers who
Just happen to be us,
Though Tom is slightly different,
A problem we will now discuss!"
Dick:
"Brother Tom
Was lost at sea
Without his water-wings,
And now he is an angel,
And he tries to do amazing things!"
Tom:
"That's right!
Brother Dick,
It's no trick
If you see
Lots of different faces
That look a lot like me!"
Both:
"An angel on a visit to
His brother here below,
Can cause a lot of trouble!
There's miracles that start
But they always come apart,
On the Smothers Brothers Show!"
