Jefferson Smith est très aimé des Boys Rangers, un club de jeunes garçons qu'il dirige. Cet homme populaire et naïf est une affaire pour le gouverneur Hopper et son chef politique Jim Taylor, qui en font un sénateur idéal pour couvrir leurs sombres histoires. Mr. Smith devient alors vite la risée du Congrès et est, malgré lui, compromis dans une affaire louche. Après un moment de découragement et grâce à sa secrétaire, il prend la parole au Sénat et la garde vingt-trois heures durant.

Christopher Reynolds, an American flying with the R.A.F, is shot down over German-occupied Holland and is given shelter by a Dutch family. Posing as the insane husband of the daughter of the house, Anita Wolverman, Reynolds convinces the German officer quartered there, Major Zellfritz, with the necessity for her divorce decree to be granted. After the court-hearing, Anita, goes to manage a home for retired ladies and, persuaded by Reynolds, tries to gain military information from the German Officer. When her former husband escapes from the insane-asylum his exploits are blamed on Reynolds. With the help of the old ladies and Anita, who "remarries" him, Reynolds escapes to England in a stolen German airplane.
