Brian Desmond directs this adaptation of Dickens' classic tale about a miser who unexpectedly discovers the Christmas spirit. Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) is so mean-spirited that he even begrudges having to give his clerk, Bob Cratchit (Mervyn Johns), the day off for Christmas. Alone at home on Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his late partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Hordern), who warns him that he will be visited by three spirits in an attempt to make him change his hard-hearted ways.
