Synopsis

Reginald Peabody, CPA, is tired of routine and conformity, tired of feeling unnecessary and unwanted.

He is on a window ledge twenty floors above the street and is going to jump as soon as he has finished his lunch.

His mother, coworkers, a policeman, a priest, and a window washer try to dissuade him.

They use up his lunch hour, so he has to wait until his coffee break to avoid jumping on company time.

While he waits a final character brings him a reason to live.
