Paladin rides into a Texas town at Christmas time and encounters a saloon full of merrymakers. Soon afterward a cowboy brings in a pregnant girl who may not survive the impending birth. The town doctor is down for his annual drunken stupor. Paladin tries to enlist help but the the patrons would rather party.—J. G. Clark
Paladin is cold, weary, hungry and has half the dust of Texas on him. With no rooms available for him or a cowboy with a pregnant wife on Christmas eve, he has to barter for what he can get. When he almost resorts to his gun for any human decency, he is no more surprised than all the locals when a miracle does arrive.—DrDOS
