Scrooge (Seymour Hicks) starts out a very scary man with his white unkempt hair and his grouchy attitude. This movie is shorter than most, so skips some very important parts. It does have his nephew (Robert Cochrane) inviting him to dinner. Christmas past shows him his old girl friend (Mary Glynne) and his terrible stinginess. He put a couple out for shipping to different places. Christmas present shows him the family of his employee, Bob Cratchit (Donald Calthrop). They find happiness in Christmas despite being very poor. It isn't until the Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-be when he finally finds the Christmas spirit. This ghost shows him how he will not be missed when he dies if he does not change his ways. And when he does he makes a hearty turnaround.
