美國的一個小鎮，Jefferson Smith（James Stewart飾）是當地的童子軍的首領，深受青少年們的喜愛，被選為新的參議員，來到了華盛頓。遇到了他父親的老朋友，同為參議員的Joseph Paine（Claude Rains飾），並且迷上了Joseph的漂亮女兒。單純的Jefferson從來沒來過華盛頓，在華盛頓鬧了不少笑話，被媒體紛紛取笑。Joseph讓Jefferson起草一個提案，並讓他的女秘書Clarissa Saunders（Jean Arthur 飾）協助Jefferson。然而Jefferson卻發現，他的這個所謂參議員不過是其他老謀深算的參議員手中的木偶，他發現了他們一個巨大的陰謀。Jefferson決定以自己單薄的力量來對抗那群人，來改變這個腐敗的政治環境。到底他能否成功？史密斯先生的華盛頓之旅會如何結束？
On January 10th, the investigative editorial team of CORRECTIV published research into a secret meeting of right-wing extremists, which no one was supposed to know about and which led to demonstrations and protests all over Germany. AfD politicians, CDU politicians, members of the WerteUnion, neo-Nazis and financially strong entrepreneurs came together in November 2023 in a hotel near Potsdam near the Villa on Wannsee, where the “final solution to the Jewish question” was once decided. They met to debate to expel millions of people from Germany, including non-German citizens with a migration background, as well as German citizens with a migration background and German citizens without a migration background who do not want to adapt to the ideological worldviews of those present. On January 17, 2024, the research premiered in the Berliner Ensemble as a staged reading with a political satirical character.
