TAC Falcon and TAC Arrow are launched. All team members were protective glasses. Terrible-Monster Snowgiran's master Namahage (human sized) appears and urges the Terrible-Monster to destroy TAC but its blinding rays do not work on them. A second TAC Arrow appears. Hokuto announces the Terrible-Monster came out of a snowman. Its blind ray havng no effect on TAC, the Terrible-Monster resorts to blasting cold air which works in downing the jets. Hokuto ejects, and for the first tiime since he got both rings he actually says "Ultra Touch" before toucing the Ultra Rings together. As with the other Ultras, cold is Ultraman Ace's weakness. And his Metalium Beam does not work on this Terrible-Monster. Ace collaposes. The Terrible-Monster starts smashing buildings more blinding men, women and children. Captain Ryu was apparently wounded in the crash landing but instructs his men to leave him and evacuate the civilians. The children refuse leave the orphange they won't abandon Yukari who now needs them. She tells them to let TAC help them but they refuse to budge (why she doesn't as TAC to lead her out I don't understand), The TAC crew decide they will try to distract the Terrible-Monster away from the orphange. But Santa Claus says to leave it to him. And when Dan asks him if he is a good guy or bad guy. Dan just looks at him. Santa smiles and then heads out of the orphange TAC calling after him not to go that he will be blinded but not actually doing anything to stop him.
Santa Claus giant sizes in front of the Terrible-Monster. Dan watchiing sees horns appear on Santa's head. and recoginizes its Father of Ultra (back from the dead). When Dan tries to tell TAC. Santa is Father of Ultra, they don't believe him. Konno says Father of Ultra is dead. Mikawa says the poor boy is in shock from seeing Ace defeated and is seeing things. Yamanaka looks out the window and sees that Santa has giant sized but the horns are gone so he says he's not Father of Ultra. The giant Santa calls upon Ace (now standing but not moving) to pick himself up and destroy the Terrible-Monster, he then fires a red beam at Ace to recharge him. Captain Ryu who has his arm in a sling, sees Father of Ultra. but the ambulance attendents only see a giant Santa Claus and ask if he hit his head. Namahage keeps ranting about "kill the hated westerns". Santa Claus finaly reveals his true form and zaps Namahage with his own ray killing the impish creature. The Terrible-Monster seeing its master fall tries to run away from Ultraman Ace, but Ace won't let it retreat. This time Ace's Metalium Beam kills the Terrible-Monster. Although Father of Ultra has returned to his giant Santa Claus form Ace now recognizes him ans says "thank you, father". Ace salutes him than flies away. The now human sized Santa returns to the orphange to hand out presents to the orphans. Santa invites Dan to get a present too but Dan asks about healing the blind. Santa claims "what can I do, I'm only a spirit?" Which suprises Dan. Santa thinks it over and comes up with an idea. Standing by the fireplace Santa disppears. Dan says everyone should go outside. The children help Yukaro go outside.
As Santa stands on the roof holding his arms out. A red sphere appears then turns into a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer. Riding in the sleigh is Minami, Yuko. She release a red and green and blue beam which cures all the people blinded by Terrible-Monster Snowgiran.
