Miracle on 34th Street

George Bailey has spent his entire life

giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls. He has always longed to travel

but never had the opportunity in order to prevent rich skinflint Mr. Potter

from taking over the entire town. All that prevents him from doing so is

George’s modest building and loan company, which was founded by his generous

father. But on Christmas Eve, George’s Uncle Billy loses the business’s $8,000

while intending to deposit it in the bank.





Potter finds the misplaced money and hides

it from Billy. When the bank examiner discovers the shortage later that night,

George realizes that he will be held responsible and sent to jail and the

company will collapse, finally allowing Potter to take over the town. Thinking

of his wife, their young children, and others he loves will be better off with

him dead, he contemplates suicide. But the prayers of his loved ones result in

a gentle angel named Clarence coming to earth to help George, with the promise

of earning his wings.





He shows George what things would have been

like if he had never been born. In a nightmarish vision in which the

Potter-controlled town is sunk in sex and sin, those George loves are either

dead, ruined, or miserable. He realizes that he has touched many people in a

positive way and that his life has truly been a wonderful one.
