The Beachcombers

The Great Shaman of the North (5x12)

Air date: Dec 12, 1976

Christmas is coming and little Sara is sick. In the mind of the feverish six-year-old Santa Claus becomes confused with the Great Shaman, who comes like a sinister Angel of Death, driving a sled and dog team. Hilarious complications ensue when Nick masquerades as the Shaman, complete with dog sled and team, to prove to the stricken Sara that he's not coming to carry her away.
