| Summary |
Disney gives families, a gift full of the spirit of the season as Ed Asner plays Horace McNickle, a counterfeiter who escapes prison through his extraordinary likeness to St. Nick. The police are closing in, but Christmas is near so there are red-suited one everywhere. McNickle is desperate to recover loot from an earlier caper, and can't make a move until he takes advantage of two neighbourhood kids who really belives he is Santa. After the kids come through, it dawns on him that he has always missed the true meaning of the holidays. Rather than make good on his escape, he tries to make good on his promises. |
