Holly and Ralph have been fighting for years, but Holly is especially infuriated because Ralph left her broke when he died; Ralph is incensed because, even thought dead he has to help Holly get a life; Angel — Ralph’s third-class apprentice former-gangbanger angel is desperate to clear his spiritual record; while Sibyl, Holly’s buddy, is frantic to become a film producer.

Meanwhile, the deadly gang of high-stakes hijackers who gunned down Ralph prepares feverishly for a huge heist of missile computer chips, while also searching for why Ralph had been spying on them and what Holly might know about their caper. Ralph, continually fighting verbally with Angel, tries to wriggle out of helping Holly, until Angel tells him that if he doesn’t help, Ralph will be Holly’s wife in their next incarnation together. Ralph discovers he can affect matter and talk mentally to Holly, so he goads her verbally to find his killers for a large reward that’s been offered, but when Holly finally starts snooping, the gang decides to eliminate her and Sibyl with a bomb planted in Holly’s house. The bomb detonates, but Ralph and Angel save the two women from harm; however, Holly can’t hear Ralph any more, and he can no longer affect matter. But Ralph soon discovers he can momentarily possess people, which skill he uses to communicate with Holly and to fight off the killers.

Adding extra layers are Sibyl’s antics pitching their story, a street woman who studied acting at Julliard's, a Russian mobster, his wife and his mistress, a couple of corrupt cops, an elderly Asian photographer who’s a stringer for The National Enquirer, and Ralph’s ugly dog, Devil. After two more violent confrontations, with Ralph popping in and out of bodies, Holly and her friends are captured and about to be burned alive, at which point Ralph goes into high gear with his new-found ability and possesses every gangster insight, where upon a huge melee erupts between the gangsters and Holly’s group, with Ralph and Angel tearing into and out of bodies, wreaking havoc on the hapless gang. The gangsters are finally subdued, Holly collects the reward, Sibyl sells their story to a studio, the two women set up a film production company, Angel gets promoted, Holly makes peace with Ralph, and Ralph trudges off to the great beyond with Angel.

Susan White, a struggling attorney, still devastated by the accidental death two years earlier of her eight-year-old son, Jeff, takes the Devil for a client when he promises her a last goodbye with Jeff if she’ll sue for slander a murderer who said ‘the Devil made me do it.’ Her estranged husband, Jason, a public defender, is appointed to represent the murderer -- with the Devil, a zany Afro-American Archangel Michael, a punk-rock airhead Eve from the Garden of Eden, and the murder victim as witnesses, a jaded caustic judge to try the case. The Devil comes in a sexy young body and, after Susan wins his suit, becomes an overnight sensation, so much so that both major political parties back him in a run for the U.S. Senate.

Of course, the Devil double-crosses Susan, so her only hope is to stop him by running against him. Susan’s campaign is joined by her feisty black secretary Rose, the trial judge Jason and Eve. Although losing badly in the primary, Susan pushes on as an independent. Mean-while, the judge has planted a spy, Freddie, in the Devil’s headquarters. When Freddie finds damaging information about the Devil, the Judge, Rose, Freddie and Eve burglarize the Devil’s headquarters, only to be caught immediately. After Michael gets them out, they discover Susan has been kidnapped by the Devil’s men, but following a wild and zany battle with the Black forces, helped by Michael, Susan is rescued - but then forced to confront her own fears, overcome them, and engage in a final fierce showdown with Black, finally achieving her goal of seeing Jeff again.

A funny screenplay with serious undertones.
