Santa works in a village of toymakers high in the mountains. He loves children, but doesn't have the skill to make toys. At Christmas time, he is chosen to take the load of toys to the city for the children. On the way, he is jumped by bandits, who take his clothes and dump his sleigh and scatter the toys. He struggles to gather and repair the toys despite freezing weather. An angel, impressed by his dedication, appears and gives him the skills of toy-making, his red suit, and the sleigh with flying reindeer. She declares he will bring joy to all children forever.; Two mice, who are traveling salesmen selling shoe polish, foil an attempt by two thugs to rob a train of presents intended for Santa Claus.; The circus animals have never celebrated Christmas before. Whiskers, a little tiger, somehow learns about the Christmas traditions and tells the other circus animal children. Their parents have to figure out a way to keep them from being disappointed.; Santa's elves surprise him with a party when he returns from his Christmas gift-giving trip.; Jack and Jill build a fire in the fireplace. Santa blows out the fire and the ensuing smoke conceals his visit to the home.
