It’s the beginning of December in Rudolph, New York, America's Christmas Town, and business is brisk at Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, a gift and décor shop owned by Merry Wilkinson. The local amateur dramatic society is intensely preparing a special musical production of A Christmas Carol. But it’s not a happy set, as rivalries between cast and crew threaten the production.
Tensions come to a head when a member of the group is found dead shortly after a shopping excursion to Mrs. Claus's Treasures. Was someone looking to cut out the competition? Everyone in the cast and crew is a potential suspect, including Aline, Merry’s mother, and Merry's shop assistant Jackie O'Reilly, who was desperate for a starring role.
It could be curtains for Christmas—and for Merry—unless the killer can be ferreted out of the wings.
'Tis the Season in Rudolph (well the run up to the season at any rate!), Mrs Claus's Treasures is getting slammed by locals and visitors alike getting their Christmas shopping done, and Merry's full-time assistant is not being a lot of help, mainly because she has stars in her eyes as she has been cast as the understudy of Mrs Cratchitt in the local players musical of A Christmas Carol, when Merry and her best pal Vicki go to drop something off at the rehearsal for Merry's Mum (the ex-opera singer and musical director for the show), they discover a LOT of back biting, people threatening to walk out and basically tempers flaring at the drop of pretty much anything! Even so things should settle down, and they would have if the original Mrs Cratchitt hadn't been killed in Merry's shop!
Now with her assistant, Jackie, and Merry's own Mother Aline in the frame as the killer, Merry starts to dig into what is going on, leading to herself almost turning into the ghost of Christmas Present!
