Everyone knows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, and how he learned to keep Christmas in his heart after three spirits visited him. And everyone knows he continued to be generous and loving the rest of his life. But, what happened immediately after his Christmas Eve visitation?

The businessmen around London have taken notice of Scrooge's strange behavior, running around in his nightdress and giving generous amounts of money to the poor. Scrooge finds himself bundled off to Bedlam, and his business going into receivership. It's up to a one of his tenants and a boxer who sometimes works as an eviction agent to spring the old man and get him to the lunacy court on time to save their homes and jobs.

Thomas Scoggins and James "Mittens" Mumford have a Boxing Day full of wild experiences. In the end, will they earn their reward, save their homes and families, or will the future be full of ghosts?
