Handlung
Waring Hudsucker, Chef eines multinationalen Konzerns, nimmt sich das Leben. Daraufhin kommt der Firmenvorstand auf die Idee, einen möglichst unfähigen Nachfolger zu bestimmen, der die Firma zu Grunde richten soll, damit der Vorstand selbst sie billig aufkaufen kann. Die Wahl fällt auf Norville Barns, den Dorftrottel aus der Poststelle.
