The next day, they're out trying to make a snowman with the little snow that's on the ground but Eddie comes by and steps on it when he gets out of his truck. He delivers a present from their grandparents. On the outside of it, there's a note about them coming for Christmas for a carnival. Julia says they can't go there for Christmas. Eddie is not thrilled to find out that Rhonda is a mom. After overhearing their mom admit that she desperately needs a break from them, the girls decide to run away and spend Christmas with their grandparents. Their plan quickly goes off the rails when they realize they can't cross the street. So they decide to hop on the bus but it only travels downtown. So they start wandering around the city and end up finding Eddie. They secretly climb into the back of his truck cuz surely he's going to grandmother's house. But they need to use the restroom and that's when Eddie discovers them. Eddie enjoys hanging with the girls and ends up buying a lottery ticket using the girls' birthdates as his numbers. Back home, the girls' babysitter realizes they've disappeared and calls Rhonda. Eddie calls Rhonda and says he's gonna bring them home. But just as he's about to do that, his delivery truck is stolen—with Sarah and Julie still inside. The thieves, Harvey and Shirley, are shocked to discover two little girls in the back of the truck. Seeing an opportunity to make real money, they decide they're gonna try to get a ransom for the girls. They convince the girls they're taking them to grandmother's house. Shirley calls Rhonda and demands $10,000 in cash, arranging the exchange at the ice rink in Edgemont and instructing Rhonda to wear a red hat. Rhonda and Eddie pawn the contents of the delivery packages Eddie was supposed to deliver to get the $10,000. A detective hears about all these pawns and assumes that Eddie and Rhonda must be the criminals they've been looking for that have been stealing stuff. Turns out, they're really looking for Harvey and Shirley. Harvey accidentally reveals that they aren't actually taking the twins to their grandmother's house, so they run away just as Rhonda shows up to pick up the girls. The girls race off in a carriage, so Eddie hops on a horse like a cowboy to rescue them right outside of grandma's house. The detective shows up to arrest Eddie and Rhonda, still convinced they're the kidnappers, but Harvey confesses to everything to free them. They make it to the lottery drawing and they win big bucks and Eddie and Rhonda kiss. They use the money to return every pawned package to its rightful owner and spend Christmas together.
