Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

A rural Vermont poet's life is turned upside down when he inherits a vast fortune, drawing a swarm of ambitious individuals to New York City who seek to exploit his newfound wealth.

Longfellow Deeds, a small-town resident, lives a humble life, playing the tuba in the town band. After inheriting a fortune, Deeds leaves his simple life behind and moves to the city, where he's targeted by opportunists. Outsmarting them all, Deeds meets Babe Bennett, a cunning reporter who poses as a damsel in distress to get close to him. When the naive small-town boy meets the sophisticated big-city girl, their encounter sparks a series of unexpected events.
