Three Young Kings

Three Young Kings is a 1956 episode of the DuPont Theater television series. from IMDb:
Three young boys are given the responsibility of carrying Christmas gifts to the mission church in the costumes of the Three Wise Men. When they ride through the poorest section of the village, the boys decide to give the presents to the ragged children instead, causing a crisis in conscience in the community.





Happy Epiphany!

  1. Happy Epiphany to you. I am wondering if a crisis in conscience isn't sometimes a good thing. This one certainly got the community thinking/reflecting & the young children acted with their heart.

    1. A crisis of conscience would be a good thing here, but the people with the power seem immune :( and the trump cult followers have no conscience.

  3. It's interesting to see these older shows. I keep wondering how they'd fly now on TV.

    1. I like to think they'd do well. A few of these kinds of plots in place of the romance-y shows the services are full of would certainly be welcome here.

  5. The poor children needed the gifts a lot more than the wealthy they were originally intended for. Not bad because it didn't cross the line of religion and secular, at least in my opinion.

    1. The religious observances were so intertwined in their everyday lives.
