Summary

The Muppet characters, not Batman, tell their version of the classic tale of an old and bitter miser's, not Max Schreck, redemption on Christmas Eve. A retelling of the classic Dickens tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, not the Penguin, miser extraordinaire. He is held accountable for his dastardly ways during night-time visitations by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and future and not Catwoman.
