Quando il fondatore e presidente di una potente azienda si butta dal 45° piano, il suo avido vice, smanioso di ottenere il controllo della società, fa nominare direttore un ingenuo neolaureato di campagna. Come il piano di aggiotaggio prevede, le azioni in borsa della Hudsucker precipitano, ma il simpatico idiota lo manda a monte, lanciando sul mercato un cerchio per bambini – l'hula-hoop – con un madornale successo di vendita.
