Elderly tailor Julius Perrin (Ludwig Donath) establishes a home for the orphans in his community. A few days before Christmas, the townsfolk try to force Perrin out of town, accusing one of the orphans of killing the son of Martin Stoddard (Ken Mayer), the community's leading citizen. It is only a matter of time before Jason McCord (Chuck Connors) involves himself in Perrin's plight, ultimately bringing the locals to their senses in a most unusual fashion.
