Death gives Everyman one hour to put his affairs in order and, as the countdown begins, our hero realizes that finding a tax shelter or an attractive date for dinner are no longer pressing problems. Everyman first tries to find someone to accompany him on his journey. Of course, no one is willing to go along -- except Good Deeds, an unselfish lady who has been widely regarded as impulsive and none too bright. All the allegorical figures -- Beauty, Strength, Worldly Goods -- come to life in their modern counterparts.
