Amid snow and ruin, Fleming and Evans lead a small platoon through a church siege. Firelight flickers on the burned village as rebels hold a final room while a frightened old man watches, his gaze challenging the young officers to mercy or victory.
In a haunted church door, Fleming and his troops face a rebel stronghold until an old man rings a Christmas bell. His insistence that the night be used for peace and goodwill breaks the fever, prompting a retreat and a pledge of nonfire as the bell tolls. The scene shifts from warlike fervor to a childlike memory of Christmas morning and a vow of harmony.
