In Depression-era New England, a miserly businessman named Benedict Slade receives a long-overdue attitude adjustment one Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghostly figures who resemble three of the people whose possessions Slade had seized to collect on unpaid loans. Assuming the roles of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future from Charles Dickens' classic story, the three apparitions force Slade to face the consequences of his skinflint ways, and he becomes a caring, generous, amiable man.

"Adaptation of the novel "A Christmas Carol." An Americanized version of a Dickens classic novel that takes place during early 20th Century New Hampshire instead of 19th Century London. Some of the differences are interesting to view but unfortunately as a result I spent most of my time comparing it to the original, which impacted my enjoyment of the movie."
