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……

As George speaks, sirens are heard passing in the street below.
The crowd turn to the windows, then back to George.
GEORGE (cont'd) I have some news for you, folks. I've just talked to old man Potter, and he's guaranteed cash payments at the bank. The bank's going to reopen next week.
ED:
But, George, I got my money here.
CHARLIE:
Did he guarantee this place?
GEORGE:
Well, no, Charlie. I didn't even ask him. We don't need Potter over here.
Mary and Ernie have come into the room during this scene. Mary stands watching silently.
CHARLIE:
I'll take mine now.
GEORGE:
No, but you . . . you . . . you're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house . . .
(to one of the men) . . . right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs.
Macklin's house, and a hundred others. Why, you're lending them the money to build, and then, they're going to pay it back to you as best they can. Now what are you going to do? Foreclose on them?
TOM:
I got two hundred and forty-two dollars in here, and two hundred and forty-two dollars isn't going to break anybody.
MEDIUM CLOSE SHOT �� ANOTHER ANGLE GEORGE (handing him a slip) Okay, Tom. All right. Here you are. You sign this. You'll get your money in sixty days.
TOM:
Sixty days?
GEORGE:
Well, now that's what you agreed to when you bought your shares.
There is a commotion at the outer doors. A man (Randall) comes in and makes his way up to Tom.
RANDALL:
Tom . . . Tom, did you get your money?
TOM:
No.
RANDALL:
Well, I did. Old man Potter'll pay fifty cents on the dollar for every share you got.
(shows bills) CROWD (ad lib) Fifty cents on the dollar!
RANDALL:
Yes, cash!
TOM (to George) Well, what do you say?
GEORGE:
Now, Tom, you have to stick to your original agreement. Now give us sixty days on this.
TOM (turning to Randall) Okay, Randall.
He starts out.
