This holiday show is about three kings on their way to Bethlehem who stop to rest at the home of Amahl, a crippled boy, and his mother. Though they are very poor, they offer the kings hospitality, shelter and entertainment from their shepherd friends. Late that that night, Amahl's mother is caught trying to steal some of the king's gold, but when she explains that it is for her starving child, she is forgiven. Amahl offers his crutch as a special gift to the baby Jesus and is miraculously cured.
