An old-fashioned Western, set in 1890's Wyoming at Christmas time. The plot follows rancher and widower David Clarke's quest to win a new wife. He sets his sights on the beautiful young widow, Lucy Devlin, but is thwarted by her brother-in-law, Eddie Devlin, and his henchmen Big Bill and Little Red. Other suitors have been driven off. Will David also give up? From the saloon girl with a heart of gold to the rotund, bumbling sheriff, to the crotchety old codger, A Western Christmas Carol is peopled by stock western characters. It is a tale that can be enjoyed by all members of the family.
