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 (thoughtfully) Maybe I could sell tickets. Let's see. No, the point is, in order to get this robe . . . I've got it! I'll make a deal with you, Mary.
Headlights flash into the scene, and the old Bailey automobile drives in, with Harry at the wheel, and Uncle Billy beside him.
UNCLE BILLY:
George! George! Come on home, quick! Your father's had a stroke!
George throws Mary's robe over the bush and gets into the car.
GEORGE:
Mary . . . Mary, I'm sorry. I've got to go.
HARRY:
Come on, George, let's hurry.
GEORGE:
Did you get a doctor?
UNCLE BILLY:
Yes, Campbell's there now.

GEORGE (rising) I have a taxi waiting downstairs.
DR. CAMPBELL I want the Board to know that George gave up his trip to Europe to help straighten things out here these past few months. Good luck to you at school, George.
GEORGE:
Thanks.

POTTER:
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to get to my real purpose.
MAN:
Wait just a minute now.
POTTER:
Wait for what? I claim this institution is not necessary to this town. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I make a motion to dissolve this institution and turn its assets and liabilities over to the receiver.
UNCLE BILLY (angrily) George, you hear what that buzzard . . .
LAWYER:
Mr. Chairman, it's too soon after Peter Bailey's death to discuss chloroforming the Building and Loan.
MAN:
Peter Bailey died three months ago. I second Mr. Potter's motion.
DR. CAMPBELL Very well. In that case I'll ask the two executive officers to withdraw.
