Christmas at the Old Soldiers Home Ends With a Spy Gift
In 1920 a playful tale unfolds at the Old Soldiers' home where Ben, nearing seventy, boasts of pension day and plans to spend it. He aids the new doctor’s wife with furniture, shares gossip about widows and romances, and later returns from Christmas services with a secret gift for Captain and Doctor Brown. The twist: Ben jokes he is a spy for next year, as morphine thefts threaten the hospital.
