The film tells the story of Longfellow Deeds, a small-town poet and tuba player who inherits a vast fortune and must navigate the complexities of life in the big city.
Gary Cooper stars as Longfellow Deeds, a simple and idealistic man who inherits $20 million from a distant relative he never knew. Jean Arthur portrays Louise "Babe" Bennett, a cynical and ambitious reporter who sees Deeds' story as her ticket to journalistic success.
As Deeds settles into his newfound wealth and status, he becomes the target of greedy opportunists and unscrupulous individuals seeking to exploit his generosity. However, with Babe's help, he learns to navigate the pitfalls of fame and fortune while staying true to his values and principles.
