Reginald Owen (Mary Poppins) is Ebenezer Scrooge, Gene Lockhart (Miracle on 34th Street) is Bab Cratchit, Terry Kilburn (Goodbye, Mr. Chips) as Tiny Tim, Leo Carroll (North by Northwest) as Marley’s Ghost, Ann Rutherford (Gone with the Wind) as the ghost of Christmas past, Lionel Braham (Snow White-1916) in his defining role as the ghost of Christmas Present, D’Arcy Corrigan (Tarzan and the Golden Lion) as the ghost of Christmas Future.

On Christmas Eve, an old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his former partner, Jacob Marley. The deceased partner was in his lifetime as mean and miserly as Scrooge is now and he warns him to change his ways or face the consequences in the afterlife. Scrooge dismisses the apparition but the first of the three ghosts, the Ghost of Christmas Past, visits as promised. Scrooge sees those events in his past life, both happy and sad, that forged his character. The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows him how many currently celebrate Christmas. The Ghost of Christmas yet to Come shows him how he will be remembered once he is gone. To his delight, the spirits complete their visits in one night giving him the opportunity to mend his ways.
