Leon Alastray is an outlaw who has been given sanctuary by Father John, whom he then escorts to the village of San Sebastian. The village is deserted, with its cowardly residents hiding in the hills from Indians, who regularly attack the village and steal all their supplies. When Father John is murdered, the villagers mistakenly think the outlaw is the priest. Alastray at first tells them he is not a priest, but they don't believe it, and an apparent miracle seems to prove they are correct. Eventually, he assists them in regaining their confidence and defending themselves.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a Western focused on an outlaw protecting a village, with themes of faith and miracles present. However, there is absolutely no indication that the events occur during the Christmas season, nor does it involve any traditional Christmas iconography or plot points related to the holiday. The detected elements ('Belief/Faith', 'Miracle') are broad themes applicable to many non-Christmas narratives, especially those involving priests or religious guidance."
