Em "O Policial e o Hino" um sem-teto fica frustrado pelas inúmeras tentativas de ser preso e encarcerado por 90 dias em uma cela quente ao invés de enfrentar os rigores de um inverno de Nova York. Em "O Toque do Clarim" um detetive da Policia de NY tem uma crise de consciência quando fica dividido entre o dever de prender um amigo de infância por um crime que só ele sabe e a dívida de honra que ainda tem para com o amigo. Em "A Última Folha" uma jovem ingênua pega pneumonia depois de ser seduzida e abandonada por ator venal. Quando perde a vontade de viver, sua irmã e um excêntrico artista de Greenwich Village tentam ajudá-la a sobreviver. Em "O Resgate do Chefe Vermelho" 2 vigaristas trapalhões sequestram o filho de um xerife rural, mas começam a achar que pegaram mais do que podem lidar. Finalmente, em "O Presente dos Magos" um jovem casal pobre luta para pagar Presentes de Natal dignos de seu amor.
