“'Tis six months before Christmas. But all through the nation Celebrations are starting... HERE'S YOUR INVITATION!”

Separate stories reveal Michael as a bankrupt playboy loved by loyal Ann; Mario as a seemingly shady character tangling with a Nazi war criminal in South America; Jonathan as a hard-drinking rodeo rider intent on a flirtatious social worker.
