George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) has dreamt his whole life of leaving his tiny hometown of Bedford Falls to travel around the world and build modern cities. His dream is crushed when his father dies, leaving him to run the family business - Bailey Building & Loan.
Unable to turn his back on his father's legacy for fear that the town's corrupt Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) would take control, George assumes his duties. George soon finds his responsibilities mounting with a new wife, town sweetheart Mary Hatch (Donna Reed), and four children to support.
The day-to-day grind of his meager existence has made George bitter with resentment. On Christmas Eve, George's uncle, also his business partner, absentmindedly loses the company's funds which fall into Potter's hands.
Facing bankruptcy and scandal, George thinks he is worth more dead than alive. About to commit suicide, he is saved and taught how valuable his life really is by the most unexpected thing - an angel with no wings who knows what the world would be like without him. (Studio Copy)
