John, an unmotivated seven year old is taken back in time by an adult angel. She tries to teach him the true meaning of life. He returns from his many adventures and tells his family about the angel, but none of them believe him. A child angel wants to be his guardian and comes to visit him. The child angel must get John to tell him about every adventure the adult angel took him through, but John is too lazy to tell him. John puts the job off on his sister and brother, but first he has to convince them there is an angel wanting to hear the stories. John wonders why his family, who professes to believe in angels and goes to church, can't believe that he has seen two angels. The baby angel, Joshua, gives John the gift to communicate with all animals, but his family thinks he is making it up. Meanwhile the family is planning a grand vacation with their father who is in on furlong. The family pets are to go also, that is, if they can get stubborn Rambo, their huge dog, to get his shots for the trip. At the vet, Rambo runs into the woods. Meow, the cat, and Baby, the small dog, along with John follow him. They end up at John's grand-parents' farm where they get into all kinds of humorous mischief. When Joshua shows up again, he promises John if someone will tell him the story, he will take all of the children and animals to another dimension where they will have a spectacular vacation climax.
