Christmas in the Sierra Nevada camp a tale of Santa aid
In a snowbound California mining town a widow and her two children face Christmas Eve with scant means. Miner Jack Dawson covertly helps by collecting gifts from campmates, raising about eight thousand dollars in a public stockin' fund. The haul funds toys, clothing, and food for the family, and the widow later becomes Dawson’s wife, with Totty and Benny calling him Santa Claus.
