And that’s just unthinkable.

For Arthur this threatens to end the very magic of Christmas.He is now left with the task of delivering the gift before dawn to save the day. With retired Grand Santa, a rebellious young elf, an old sleigh and some untrained reindeer, Arthur sets out on a crazy mission to deliver the last gift!

After being booed by his cousins and peers, he loses hope in almost everything. But one fine snowy evening, everything changes as Santa needs someone to bail him out and he picks Rudolph.

Its his roomamte and LawyerJohn Payne who takes up his case to prove that its nothing short of a miracle and that Kris is the real Santa.
