Plot Synopsis
The story centers around a grumpy business owner named Scrooge, who has lost everything he once cared about in life except his business. A life of disappointment has made Scrooge very miserly, and this is reflected in his treatment of his only employee, Bob Cratchit. Then, one night while sleeping, Scrooge is awakened by the ghost of his long departed business partner, Bob Marley. Following Marley's visit, he is escorted by three ghosts of Christmas on a journey through his past, present and future. After realizing the error of his ways and seeing the lives of those less fortunate than himself, Scrooge is reformed. He awakens the following day and proves he has turned over a new leaf through acts of generosity that had never been seen of him before. -
