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 (raving at her) Will you get out and let me handle this?
(into phone �� shouting) Hello? Hello? What? Oh, you will, huh? Okay, Mr. Welch, any time you think you're man enough . . . Hello? Any . . .
But before he can think of an insult to top Welch's, we hear a click on the phone.
GEORGE:
Oh . . .
He hangs up the receiver, and turns toward the living room. His face is flushed and wet.
PETE:
Daddy, how do you spell "Hallelujah"?
GEORGE (shouts) How should I know? What do you think I am, a dictionary?
He yells at Tommy, noisily playing with his vacuum cleaner.
GEORGE (cont'd) Tommy, stop that! Stop it!
Janie is still practicing at the piano, monotonously.
GEORGE (cont'd) (savagely) Janie, haven't you learned that silly tune yet? You've played it over and over again. Now stop it! Stop it!
INTERIOR LIVING ROOM �� NIGHT CLOSE SHOT �� The room has suddenly become ominously quiet, the only SOUND being George's labored breathing. George goes over to a corner of the room where his workshop is set up �� a drawing table, several models of modern buildings, bridges, etc. Savagely he kicks over the models, picks up some books and hurls them into the corner. Mary and the children watch, horrified. George looks around and sees them staring at him as if he were some unknown wild animal. The three children are crying.
GEORGE (gasping for breath) I'm sorry, Mary, Janie. I'm sorry. I didn't mean . . . you go on and practice. Pete, I owe you an apology, too. I'm sorry. What do you want to know?
PETE (holding back his tears) Nothing, Daddy.
Mary and the children stare at him, stunned by his furious outburst. There is silence in the room.
GEORGE:
What's the matter with everybody? Janie, go on. I told you to practice.
(shouts) Now, go on, play!
Janie breaks into sobs.
JANIE:
Oh, Daddy . . .
MARY (in an outburst) George, why must you torture the children? Why don't you . . .
The sight of Mary and the children suffering is too much for George.
GEORGE:
Mary . . .
He looks around him, then quickly goes out the front door of the house. Mary goes to the phone, picks it up.
MARY:
Bedford, two-four-seven, please.
PETE:
Is Daddy in trouble?
