His shop burned down, chronic back problems prevent him from working for anyone else, his daughter Ruth has married an Italian, his wife Fanny (Ida Kaminska) has for the last two years suffered from heart and lung problems that leave her bedridden, and the welfare department refuses to help them out. One day Morris walks into his kitchen and finds a black Jew named Alexander Levine (Harry Belafonte), who claims to be an angel on probation. Levine says that he has 24 hours to perform a miracle in order to become a full angel, but Morris, who feels that God has abandoned him, is skeptical.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Levine says that in order for him to perform a miracle, Morris must have faith in him. Morris says that he won't have faith until Levine performs a miracle. Fanny's health does seem to improve dramatically whenever Levine is around and decline again when he's gone, but that's not enough for Morris, who wants something more obvious.
