It's another Christmas, when man finds himself a year older but not a penny richer - or so Ebenezer Scrooge believes. His nephew Fred and clerk Bob Cratchit, strive to convince him of otherwise but Scrooge will not be persuaded until his long dead partner arrives with a message from beyond the grave. Marley warns Scrooge he will be visited by three spirits throughout the night and if he does not heed their warning, he will find himself facing an eternity of torment. The three spirits take Scrooge on an adventure through time as he sees Christmases Past and Present...each one thawing his heart a little more until he realizes there is more than one way to be rich. As he faces the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge begs for a second chance to live better. Do the spirits grant the wish of the changed man? Or is it too late?
