In December 1958, Norville Barnes, a business college graduate from Muncie, Indiana, arrives in New York City looking for a job. He struggles, due to lack of experience, and becomes a mailroom clerk at Hudsucker Industries. Meanwhile, the company founder and president, Waring Hudsucker, unexpectedly commits suicide by jumping out of a top-floor window. When Sidney J. Mussburger, a ruthless member of the board of directors, learns that Hudsucker's stock shares will be sold to the public soon, he mounts a scheme to buy the controlling interest in the company: he will temporarily depress the stock price by hiring an incompetent president to replace Hudsucker. Shortly before his last meeting, Hudsucker sent Mussburger a top-secret communication called a "Blue Letter", which Norville is assigned to deliver. After meeting Norville, Mussburger selects him as a proxy for Hudsucker.
As president of Hudsucker Industries, Norville decides to fast-track an invention he has been working on which appears to be a simple circle. Mussburger takes him for an idiot and tries to ascertain his intelligence. Amy Archer, a reporter for the Manhattan Argus, is assigned to write a story about Norville. She gets a job at Hudsucker Industries as Norville's personal secretary, after disguising herself as another desperate graduate from Muncie. One night, Amy searches the building to find clues and meets Moses, a man who runs the building's giant clock and knows "just about anything if it concerns Hudsucker". He tells her the board's plot for Norville, and she takes the story back to her Chief, but he does not believe it. At the Hudsucker ball, Norville accidentally insults some stockholders.
The other executives decide to accept Norville's invention for the hula hoop, in the hope that it will depress the company's stock. However, the hula hoop brings the company greater success than before. Amy is infuriated over Norville's new attitude and leaves him. Buzz, the eager elevator operator, pitches a new invention: the flexi-straw. Norville does not like it and fires Buzz. Meanwhile, the Hudsucker janitor, Aloysius, discovers Amy's true identity and informs Mussburger. Mussburger reveals Amy's secret identity to Norville and tells him that he will be dismissed as president after the new year. Mussburger also convinces the board that Norville is insane and must be sent to the local psychiatric hospital.
On New Year's Eve, Amy finds Norville drunk at a beatnik bar. She apologizes, but he storms out of the place and is chased by an angry mob led by Buzz, who was led by Mussburger to believe that Norville stole the hula hoop idea from him. Norville escapes to the top floor of the Hudsucker skyscraper and changes back into his mailroom uniform. He climbs out on the ledge, where Aloysius locks Norville out and watches as he slips and falls off the building at the strike of midnight. Suddenly, Moses stops the clock and time freezes. Waring Hudsucker appears to Norville as an angel and tells him that the Blue Letter Norville was supposed to deliver to Mussburger contains a legal document indicating that Hudsucker's shares would go to his immediate successor, which is now Norville. Meanwhile, Moses fights and defeats Aloysius inside, allowing Norville to fall safely to the ground. Norville then reconciles his love with Amy. As 1959 progresses, Mussburger is sent to the asylum and Norville develops a new invention, the frisbee.
