Junior Senator Jefferson Smith (Stewart) arrives for the first time in Washington D.C., brimming with idealism. Jean Arthur is his street-smart secretary, who becomes swept up in his wish to create a national boys’ camp, despite cynical Washington wheeling and dealing. A heartening story of possibility, the film calls upon both characters to meet at the crossroads of practicality and good-heartedness.
