It's Christmas at Trailertopia, and Salem and her octogenarian partner-in-crime-solving Viv are jazzed about ringing in the season. The night takes a decidedly un-festive turn, though, when the grumpiest old man in the trailer park is found murdered! Before the night is over, Salem finds herself on the back of a donkey with her little dog Stump in her lap, pretending to be 'great with child.' She and Viv are pinch-hitting for Mary and Joseph in a live nativity gone very, very wrong—because the real Joseph has been accused of the murder!
