本剧叙述在野党影子内阁成员Jim Hacker在帮助本党大选获胜之后得到行政事务部（DAA）部长的职务，从此开始面对以部秘书Sir Humphrey Appleby为首的公务员体系，而他的公派私人秘书、同属公务员的Bernard则夹在了当中。在Hacker所代表的政客以及Appleby所代表的公务员之间因施政而发生的种种冲突之中，两人的关系不停地发生变化，既有互相捂盖子，也有互相揭老底。与此同时，英国政治体制（包括政党体制和公务员体制）中的种种不为外人所知弊端和黑幕也展现在观众眼前。当然所有这些都是通过大量喜剧情节和台词展开。在本系列后半部分的《Yes Prime Minister》中，Hacker通过党内角力当上了首相，而Appleby也已先他一步当上了首相秘书，两人的故事移到唐宁街10号继续展开。
With his wife's encouragement, Minister Hacker decides he should focus on accomplishing 1 or 2 significant achievements while in office. He decides the time has come to promote more women into the senior ranks of the civil service. Needless to say, Sir Humphrey very much wants to maintain the status quo and arranges for his fellow permanent secretaries to brief their own Ministers accordingly. Hacker nonetheless insists on promoting a woman in his own department, but things don't quite work out as planned.
