Ten stories, each inspired by one of the ten commandments.

Plot

Quirky interrelated stories. Standing by two tablets, Jeff promises to introduce 10 short stories, each about one of the commandments. A man survives a fall from a plane and his fiancée marries someone else before falling in love with a marionette; a surgeon causes the death of a patient and in prison tries to choose his mate; a woman encounters Jesus in Mexico and later confronts her husband on the Sabbath; twins and their mother reflect on fatherhood; covetous neighbors miss a chance to be heroes; and Jeff's love triangle with Gretchen and Liz plays out between each story. In the end, all the characters join in singing that it's all about love.
