O. Henry's Full House
A dozen top stars - five famed directors bring you the best stories of O. Henry!
Overview
Five O. Henry stories, each separate. The primary one from the critics' acclaim was "The Cop and the Anthem".

The other stories are "The Clarion Call", "The Last Leaf", "The Ransom of Red Chief", and "The Gift of the Magi".
