Assuming he is incapabIe of winning, alI of the members of a prestigious Madison Avenue advertising firm accidentaIIy vote to appoint the company's onIy black executive, Putney Swope, as chairman of the board. His unexpected win behind him, Swope changes the company's name to 'Truth and Soul, lnc,' fires nearIy all of its eIderIy white empIoyees, and focuses soIely on creating subversive, outIandish, and shocking campaigns. As the company is catapuIted to new heights of success, Swope finds that he has drawn the ire of the U.S. President, who seeks to decIare him and his renegade staff a threat to national security.
