A magical re-imagining of the classic tale. Arnie plays Scrooge who has promised to entertain children every holiday season to make up for his past mistakes. In the course of the show he recounts his run in with Marley and the three spirits (comically played by Arnie's assistant in lavish costumes). Amazing magic illusions abound as the spirits try to convince Scrooge of their reality and teach him lessons in charity and goodwill toward men. In the end Scrooge is redeemed and feels so lighthearted he could "float in the air" as he eagerly demonstrates with the aid of the children.
