Ben of Nigglewood

Ben Nigglewood is a homeless man who is fed up with his predicament in the care facility. The care in this place leaves much to be desired. Along comes Gretta Wollenzeider who is sympathetic to his cause and starts to take action. She arranges an interview with Mr. Dicton of the housing authorities to discuss plans to check the facility. As she is mobilizing her plans, Ben passes away. Gretta is distraught, and angry, and decides to visit him in heaven. A heated discussion ensues between agitated Gretta and peaceful Ben. Along the way, there are angels, Niggy, the demon, Ben’s mother, and the truckers of Bacnauld’s Bar. There is lots of action. Finally, Gretta and Ben’s mother touch base with one another and they make plans to improve Ben’s former care facility.
