Newly elected president Judson Hammond is shown to be a lackey of his party, willing to follow the party line even if it's not in the best interest of the people. Showing off by driving his own car to a political meeting, he crashes at high speed. Comatose, he is not expected to recover. But on regaining consciousness, he is a changed man. Dismissing his cabinet and defying Congress, he assumes near-dictatorial powers in order to cut through red tape and institute sweeping measures to reduce unemployment. He even goes so far as to gently threaten nations owing the United States money from World War I to find a way to repay their debts by reducing their arms races. Having brokered this important safeguard for the world's peace, Hammond is stricken down, his work done. Written by Ron Kerrigan

没想到是这么天马行空的政治讽刺片，Walter Huston表现得相当好，放到现在来看也是挺有意思很应景

30年代政治讽刺片，很适合翻拍。不过这片里的白宫布景也太简陋了。Mischa Auer瞪着无辜的大眼睛在里面演了一个正直严肃的记者。
