“Rocking America with laughter!”

Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper) is happy in his small town, and all he wants is to be left to it. Then a dead relative leaves him a fortune, and Frank Capra sends him to the big city, where lawyers, newspapermen and hangers-on line up to get at his money. Babe Bennett (Jean Arthur) is one of them, and Deeds keeps trusting people, even when he has no reason to.
