Lucky meets the brothers Lumière, and saves the French pioneers of cinematography on their way to Holly Woods, still equally unknown then, from such diverse dangers as a bear and a malicious businessman and his dogsbody Jack who try to sabotage their entertainment breaking trough, or on second thought steal their unique camera. Meanwhile their demo movies were destroyed, so Wild West folk must act in a new one...

And what’s worse is that Averell has the heart of Santa and hands out all of their loot filled presents to everyone he meets! And when they break into the homes of Nothing Gulch in order to tear up all of the presents under the Christmas trees, it’s sure that no one is likely to forget this festive season!
