Welcome to the Trial of the Century! A year after his miraculous transformation, Ebenezer Scrooge is back to his old ways, suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

As Scrooge represents himself, witness after witness stand to give their account of the night in question.

Then, in a staggering turn of events, Scrooge makes the spirits an offer they can't refuse; spread the spirit of caring and giving every day, not just once a year!
