At the funeral of family man Michael Doyle, he pops out of his own coffin to the shock of his wife and daughter. The doctor is unable to explain how he came back but he's perfect healthy - but not particularly happy to be back. Doyle is now obsessed with death, seeing it in everyone and everything and tasting nothing but dirt. He soon realizes he was in a glorious brightly-lit Heaven and is now trapped in "life". Then he realizes he has been sent back to bring his daughter with him to Heaven by killing her. The mother intervenes at the last second and Michael kills himself...and we realize the image of Heaven he saw was a stained glass window above his coffin at the funeral parlor.
