While returning home after delivering all his gifts Santa flies over a town that he realizes he hasn't been to before. When he stops to investigate the matter the sleigh crashes through the rotten roof of an old-west saloon while attempting to land on its top. After hearing what sounds like a childs crying to Santa he sets off to find the source, a trip where he has an encounter with a gunfighter from long-gone days and leads him, his cat, Charlie, and one of the reindeer, Oscar, deep into a mine where they are stranded without light when the candle they're using burns out. With the help of his cat, Santa makes it back to the sleigh and quickly heads for home, more than glad to be away from the ghost-town and its strange happenings.
