Paul takes Scott to see his foster father's sister, a wealthy widow who has a $10,000 inheritance for the boy, but she wants to gain custody of Scott for herself, even if this requires betraying Paul to his pursuers.

Forrester gets a letter supposedly from Forrester's mother inviting him to come home for Christmas. When he arrives she claims that she didn't send him a letter. And it seems that Forrester was not exactly a good son and neither his mom nor the rest of the town like him. But he and Scott try to make it a good Christmas for her because she's dying.
