Synopsis
Un jeune homme, Jimmy MacDonald, a participé à un concours de slogans organisé par une marque de café et espère gagner un des prix, le premier étant de 25 000$. Ses collègues décident de lui faire une farce en lui faisant croire qu'il a gagné le concours. Jimmy décide d'acheter plein de cadeaux pour sa famille dont le premier sera une bague pour sa fiancée Betty Casey. Lorsqu'il se rend compte de la supercherie, Jimmy est désespéré et Betty aussi. Le jury du concours qui a tardé à délibérer à cause d'un juré, Mr. Bildocker, annonce alors le grand gagnant qui n'est autre que Jimmy.
