Plot
An angel arrives on Earth tasked with improving the world.
The main task involves conning a pawnbroker (who specialises in old musical instruments) into believing her harp is valuable. This is set up by organising a "chance meeting" in a pub and convincing him, through a man talking, that he could obtain a valuable harp.
