- Summary
- This adaptation of a traditional Jack tale, set in rural America after World War II, tells the story of an ex-GI whose kindness is rewarded with two magical gifts, a sack that can catch anything and a jar that can predict whether a sick person will recover or die. Jack uses the sack to catch a number of things including three devils plaguing a small town. Later, he becomes a national hero when he rescues the President's daughter from a fatal illness by catching Death in a sack. With Death imprisoned and the natural order disrupted, Jack must make a fateful decision.
