Furious, Bruce rails and rages against the Lord for his rotten luck–which is followed by a curious set of signs, one of which leads him to an old building called Omni Presents, Inc. There, Bruce meets a janitor who reveals himself to be who he really is–God! He's heard Bruce's complaints and now has an offer for the choleric newscaster–his job. By endowing Bruce with all his powers, God challenges him to take on the job and see if he can do any better!
