Synopsis[]

The character of Andy LeBeau was a spin-off character from Coleman's made-for-TV movie The Kid with the Broken Halo (1982).[4] In each episode, Andy was dispatched to help a child in need and resolve his problem by his supervisor and fellow angel, Angelica. The antagonist in each episode was Hornswoggle, who tried to make Andy's mission more difficult, usually by getting him to make the wrong choice or by otherwise complicating the mission. It was up to Andy to correct whatever mistakes he made and foil Hornswoggle's plans.
