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……
