    Benedict Slade (Henry Winkler) is a heartless finance company president in Depression era New England. He shatters the Christmas hopes of his debtors by mercilessly repossessing their most prized goods -- and then fires his faithful assistant, Thatcher, on Christmas Eve. Alone in his apartment, the selfish Slade is visited by three ghosts -- Christmas Past, Present and Future -- who take him on a late-night journey and reveal the bitter truths of his life to teach him the true meaning of Christmas.
