things are looking grim for Santa on Christmas Eve as he loses his voice and all his reindeer get sick before the nights duties are done. He sends his reindeer off to bed and chooses eight cows to pull his sleigh instead. When Santa overlooks the shivering calf, Sugar Lump raises his voice to let Santa know he can pull the sleigh. A hoarse Santa appreciates the calfs strong voice and invites him into the sleigh to command the cows.
