Not the Holiday Gift He Hoped For
CHEYENNE
The Angry Sky
A light-up tie! A talking fish plaque! Barbecue-scented soap! Yes, we’ve all gotten gifts that left us scratching our heads and wondering, what made them think of me when they bought this gift? In this Cheyenne episode, Cheyenne Bodie receives a gift that bears far more dire consequences than smelling like hot dogs after a shower.
As Christmas nears, Cheyenne Bodie falls victim to a notorious bank robber. Seriously wounded, he recuperates with a young woman, her sister, and her brother-in-law. But something is not right in this home, and now a snowstorm rages, and they’re trapped in the mountains together.
