George Bailey has spent his life giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls. He has longed for other things but worked to prevent miserly Mr. Potter from taking over the town. On Christmas Eve, George’s Uncle loses their business’s $8,000 which sets of a chain of events threatening the town. Thinking the world will be better off with him dead, he contemplates suicide. An angel named Clarence arrives to show George a world without his impact.
