乔治（詹姆斯•斯图尔特 James Stewart 饰）在圣诞节前准备自杀，这时上帝传来旨意，派天使拯救他，并让他了解到自己一生的使命——拯救那些不幸的人。乔治小时候左耳有疾，在贝德福德镇上的一家药店帮工。他很机灵，深得老板器重，同时也很招女孩喜欢。某日，老板接到爱子死亡的电报，悲痛欲绝，配错了药，幸亏乔治才化险为夷。乔治从小嫉恶如仇，尤其看不惯富人专横跋扈。长大后，乔治一表人才，准备去读大学。这时，他的父亲去世了，他子承父业，协助叔父料理公司事务。然而公司经营状况不佳，在董事会会议上面临破产。如果公司破产，小镇将会有很多家庭陷入困境。乔治力排众议，说服了董事会，但是条件是他要担任董事会秘书长。这与他的大学梦相去甚远。而且，此时他还陷入了对一个女孩的爱恋之中……

George pulls the little box out of his pocket. Gower savagely rips it away from him, breathing heavily, staring at the boy venomously.

The boy is whimpering, hurt, frightened. Gower steps toward him.
GEORGE (cont'd) Don't hurt my sore ear again.
But this time Gower sweeps the boy to him in a hug and, sobbing hoarsely, crushes the boy in his embrace. George is crying too.
GOWER:
No . . . No . . . No. . .
GEORGE:
Don't hurt my ear again!
GOWER (sobbing) Oh, George, George . . .
GEORGE:
Mr. Gower, I won't ever tell anyone. I know what you're feeling.
I won't ever tell a soul. Hope to die, I won't.
GOWER:
Oh, George.

Suddenly, in action, as George stands with his arms outstretched in illustration, the picture freezes and becomes a still. Over this hold-frame shot we hear the voices from Heaven: CLARENCE'S VOICE What did you stop it for?
JOSEPH'S VOICE I want you to take a good look at that face.
CLARENCE'S VOICE Who is it?
JOSEPH'S VOICE George Bailey.
