Sinopse
De maneira totalmente inesperada e bizarra, Waring Hudsucker, presidente das super lucrativas Indústrias Hudsucker, comete suicídio se atirando do alto de seu próprio edifício. Ainda atordoada pelo acontecimento, a junta de diretores da empresa, comandada pelo inescrupuloso Sidney Mussberger, tem uma idéia brilhante: colocar um idiota qualquer na presidência da Companhia e fazer o preço das ações despencar, para depois comprar tudo de volta a preço de banana. O ingênuo e idealista Norville Barnes seria o perfeito "testa de ferro" para o plano, mas ninguém contava com a desconfiança da repórter Amy Archer, que começa a perceber que há algo de podre no reino da Hudsucker.
