Storyline

It was Christmas time. Three friends - a newspaper reporter, a bass player, and a lawyer - were on their way to visit someone. After buying gifts, they rushed to the train station. However, there were no seats available in the first-class compartment. In the second-class compartment, they found a lady sitting alone. However, the lady refused to let them enter the compartment. The friends decided to play a prank on the lady and took her to the train station to find out if her belongings were in the compartment. As a result, they had to pay for the lady's carriage and were unable to catch up with the train. The lady, who had seemed scandalous at first, turned out to be very nice and invited them to her house for Christmas.
