Judy and Jimmy Barton are twins living with their folks in a big old-fashioned house. Right after Thanksgiving Judy and Jimmy’s mother tells them she’s going to let them help her sort out the Christmas tree ornaments to see if any of them have been lost or broken. They find them all in good condition except – and here’s the motivation of the story – except the big silver star that has graced the top of every Barton Christmas tree for years and years. Judy and Jimmy finally wheedle mother to let them go up in to the attic and look for the Silver Star and then the fun begins. They meet Paddy O’Cinnamon, the Cinnamon Bear in person. Then the Cinnamon Bear leads the children through all their marvellous adventures on their quest of the Silver Star. Each episode brings them a little closer to success and then something always happens to keep them from it until the end when it’s none other than Santa Clause who helps Judy, Jimmy and the Cinnamon Bear take the Silver Star back home.
