Colonel Carter is a old fashioned gentleman from the old South. He still belives in truth and honor, something that was surely lacking in the South after the war between the states when carpetbaggers overran the South with cheating and lies. The Colonel invites a devious Northerner and his young daughter to join him and his family for Christmas. The day brings something into his life that had been lacking in the Colonel's existance and opens the eyes of the businessman showing him there is much more to life than business and money.
