Abstract: Cruel, small-town banker Howell Whittington has a stroke sitting up in church, and when he wakes up, he's transformed and wants nothing more than to be a real husband, which scares his proper, repressed wife Elizabeth to death. Setting out to right past wrongs, he blackmails the town's baddies into doing the right thing by threatening to foreclose on their mortgages. A hilarious story of marriage and love and second chances.
