- SynopsisFestive fantasy comedy. Long ago, Claus is a humble wood-cutter who delights in distributing Christmas gifts to village children. One day, he and his wife lose their way in a blizzard, and find themselves transported to the North Pole, where a fairy toy workshop is run by elves who appoint Claus the new annual distributor of Christmas toys around the world. One of his elves, Patch, gets ideas above his station, and goes to modern day New York, where he becomes involved with a greedy toy manufacturer, though Patch learns his lesson about generosity and trusting Santa.
