Gene Autry hosts a Christmas edition of Melody Ranch four days before Christmas, opening with 'Here Comes Santa Claus' and filling the broadcast with holiday music, comedy and seasonal talk. The dramatic portion centers on young Susan, who still believes in Santa Claus, and her embittered grandfather, who dismisses Christmas traditions and tries to discourage her belief. Gene and the ranch gang protect Susan's faith, and by the end her grandfather admits that he had lost something important himself and recovers enough Christmas spirit to prepare for Santa's visit.
