Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner is visited by three Spirits who mean to reform him. He is reprieved from a fate of forever roaming the earth dragging cash-box and chains behind by a promise to hold the spirit of Christmas in his heart all year long. Lucifer, however, is displeased at losing his best, though unwitting, servant in the City and sends three demons in human guise to return Scrooge to the dark path by the next Christmas. Furthermore, though Scrooge is no longer a miser, he is still a loner who will not confide his troubles or trust anyone but himself to solve them. Will Scrooge's newly formed Charity be destroyed, its people delivered to darkness, and Scrooge and his friends cast into the jaws of Hell?
