Le parti du Président américain se réunit en convention afin de choisir quel sera le candidat pour la prochaine élection. Cinq hommes se présentent mais deux seulement sont favoris : William Russell est un intellectuel issu de l’élite et semble le mieux armé pour l’emporter. Mais face à lui se dresse Joe Cantwell, outsider proche du peuple et prêt à tout pour renverser la tendance. Pour arbitrer ce duel, le Président Hockstader doit jouer un rôle prépondérant en apportant son soutien à l’un des deux prétendants...
