This is a fantasy and Western video made for the Christmas season in 2015. The residents of a small, unnamed prairie town in the old West need to have a miracle worker come to town. The apparent reason is because they all seem to be short on money with which to pay the rent for their homes and businesses. While the film has a nice Christmas season outcome, the plot is quite odd. Does James Booth own the whole town? There have been a number of Western movies made over the years in which a cattle baron or mining company ruled over a town. But never before were the residents and shop owners all renters of those folks.
Beyond that, this film has some holes, problems with continuity, very stagey scenes and some not very professional acting. One scene from outside shows what would be a hamlet - little more than a collection of houses spread around. Then, there's a scene of a town center with shops and buildings all around it. And, it looks so manicured that it can't possible be a disguised stage setting.
It's a stretch to give this even five stars, but I do so in the spirit of the Christmas season just ended, when I watched the DVD of this film.
