Dawn's parents find a Canadian soldier in Trafalgar Square with nowhere to spend Christmas but his service's club, so they invite him to stay with them. Dawn is engaged to marry Eric, but the contrast between her rigidly practical fiance and the frivolous presents Mike buys for her and her parents make her realize that she can't banish everything that's soft and human from their lives. When carol singers come by, Eric says the little ragamuffins are only out for what they can get, but Dawn breaks off with Eric and invites the children inside for a warm drink and some cakes with her and Mike.
