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……

CAMERA MOVES WITH George as he comes into the scene. Ruth detaches herself from the group and offers George some popcorn.

RUTH:
Oh, well, my father owns a glass factory in Buffalo. He wants to get Harry started in the research business.
GEORGE:
Is it a good job?
RUTH:
Oh, yes, very. Not much money, but a good future, you know.
