- The day before Christmas Mr. and. Mrs. Jimmy Carter find their colored cook about to go home over Christmas to cook dinner for her little son. In order to have their dinner, for which Flora's family is invited, they coax Dinah to bring her little Sambo to their house for the day. Carter crosses the bay for the groceries. His pocket is picked, and in trying to catch the ferry, he jumps and lands in the bay. Dinah's present for Sambo arrives in a big crate. It is a goat, which brings consternation to Flora. To alibi his delay and account for his wet clothing, Carter weaves a glowing tale about having plunged into save a little girl at the dock. A neighborhood gossip who saw him jump into the water comes in and tells on him, whereupon Flora gets peeved, but Carter "squares" it by giving her his present, a beautiful jeweled bracelet. The goat eats its way out of the box and creates a lot of trouble finally causing Carter to fall as he is decorating the tree. At last Carter gets to bed -- on the ironing board, having given up his bed to Flora's parents -- and so spends a restless night. Near dawn the goat awakens him, and he dons his costume to play Santy tor the children. Then follows an exciting game of tag in which a burglar, dressed as Santy, is the pivotal character, with the grandfather and a score of other apartment residents in pursuit. In the end the burglar is captured through Carter's efforts and he becomes not only Santy Claus, but the hero of the apartment house. And the family enjoys the Christmas dinner all the more for the zest given appetites by the adventures of the day.—Copyright Description from Library of Congress
