Featuring Ed Gardner of Duffy’s Tavern fame. This time he’s not Archie the bartender, but a synical cab driver. He picks up a customer who seems to be a stranger to town. The car radio seems to be stuck on an endless stream of Christmas carols, despite the cabvie’s search for a little modern swing tunes.
Christmas magic is the theme of the night as the clock ticks closer to midnight. A crippled newsboy meets his baseball hero, and is somehow cured. Next a blind man ges run dwn at a busy street corner. Can our stranger help the cops and ambulance crew get him the medical attention he needs? For that matter, has there been a more miraculous healing that just happened when the bvlind man gets his sight back?
Before the night is over, time seems to stand still when a man threatens to jump from a skyscraper. Why xcan’t the radio tune in anything but Christmas carols/ Will our cabbie get shorted on his fare? Will he still be so synical when the night is over?
