Young doctor Barry Laverty is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, but his joy is spoiled by his girlfriend Patricia, who does not think about the holidays arrive. But Barry can't dwell too much on matters of the heart - he and his senior colleague Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly are busy dealing with common ailments as well as urgent cases requiring undivided attention. And in addition, a big problem appears. A new doctor opens a surgery in the nearby area, who fraudulently drags patients and whose charlatanism begins to threaten the health of the trusting villagers. Is it possible for three general practitioners to make a living in this region? Barry begins to doubt this.
But even in the unpleasant winter season there are carefree moments, and the doctors of Ballybucklebo manage to find time in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Christmas gatherings and festivities to procure, for example, a ration for the children of a single mother. Snow rarely falls here and miracles don't happen like on a treadmill, but that doesn't mean that Christmas has to be in the mud and that people should stop hoping and believing...
Whether you are old acquaintances, or you are meeting both doctors and their relatives for the first time today, welcome to the world of humor, friendship and love!
