When it comes to setting goals for himself, 19-year-old Andy Venable (Phillip Vaden) is pretty laid back. But he's determined to get his ailing Catholic mother (Julie Hagerty) a face-to-face meeting with the pope before she dies. In the process of tracking him down, Andy meets a pretty girl (Marnette Patterson), catches the eye of Broadway producers and somehow manages to find a life of his own. Stephen Tobolowsky co-stars.
