It's Christmastime, and Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) enter into the spirit of things by playing Santa for the impoverished Ward family--with the curmudgeonly Malloy agreeing to put up half the money for a toy dump truck. But it's back to business as usual when the cops chase after the perpetrators who have stolen the Wards' car. Elsewhere, Jim and Pete break up a domestic quarrel and haul in a driver who has indulged in too much "Yuletide cheer." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
