A warm, Christmas tale about the story of a small, crippled boy, Amahl. The Three Wise Men, on their way to Bethlehem to offer gifts to the holy infant, pass by the meagre dwelling where Amahl and his mother live, and rest there for the night. When Amahl hears their story, he too wants to offer a gift to the newborn Jesus, and gives them his crutch, his most valuable possession. Young Amahl's generosity and kindness are rewarded by a miracle!
