"Bah! Humbug, this festival!" The greedy and cruel moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas. Not even the festival of love can awaken any compassion for his nephew or his employees. But then a ghost appears to him! It is his deceased business partner Jacob Marley. And he announces to Scrooge the visit of three more ghosts. If the moneylender does not follow their advice, the same horrible fate that befell Marley awaits him in the afterlife. Thus, the miser is visited during the night by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who confront him with his mistakes and their tragic consequences. Eventually, the old man comes to his senses; he reconciles with his nephew and the employees. Scrooge becomes a Christmas fan!
