In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century the swaggering carefree carnival barker Billy Bigelow captivates and marries the gentle millworker Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant and desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison he takes his own life and is sent 'up there.' Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day fifteen years later and he encounters the daughter he never knew. She is a lonely friendless teenager her father's reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love.
