Bull's mother, Henrietta "Hank" Shannon, pulls into port to meet the gang.

Harry loses all interest in life after Margaret leaves him. An angel (in the shape of Mel Tormé) shows him what life would be like in the court without him: Dan is a rich and corrupt judge, Bull is his stooge candidate for mayor, Mac and Christine are the beaten-down court attorneys, and Roz goes to prison for resisting one of Dan's business enterprises. When Harry sees Dan seduce Christine, he chooses to live again, and the angel sends him on his way with a rousing performance of "Start All Over Again."

Mr. Billachi, an elderly former department store Santa, is brought into court for attacking the robot that replaced him. Disheartened by the commercialism of Christmas, he announces his intention to commit suicide, and Dan is the unlikely person who has to convince him that Christmas is still a time of giving and goodwill. His task is made harder by the fact that his normally cheerful co-workers are all complaining loudly about the mess-ups in their holiday plans.
