Characters Larry Vega; Susan Vega; the Guardian Angel
Synopsis Susan and Larry's marriage is starting to drift apart. A guardian angel comes into Susan's life, which only she can see, to tell her that there will be trouble ahead if they do not work out their problems. After spending years on developing insecticide #383, Larry is ready to test it on a camping trip. Susan comes along and the trip turns into a slapstick disaster that is only saved when Larry and Susan realize that they still love each other.
