The old and eccentric Ebenezer Scrooge is a misanthrope and miser. His only friend was his business partner Jacob Marley, who died on Christmas Eve seven years earlier. Since then, Ebenezer has been running the business alone. Christmas is just around the corner again, an abomination for the hard-hearted misanthrope. So he not only rejects his nephew Fred, who invites him to Christmas dinner, but also everyone who asks for alms. When Mr. Scrooge comes home on Christmas Eve, he is astonished to find Jacob Marley, his deceased business partner, waiting for him. He is not the only guest; three more ghosts follow. A night that Ebenezer will never forget lies ahead of him.
