Jefferson Smith (James Stewart) is chosen as a replacement for recently deceased U.S. Senator Sam Foley. Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains) is taken under the wing of the crooked, but secretly crooked, Senator Paine. Smith's naïve nature allows the unforgiving Washington press to take advantage of him, tarnishing his reputation.
