Plot Summary: Ebenezer Scrooge was an aging business man who was known throughout the town as being a very stingy miser. So stingy that he under pays his clerk Bob Cratchit, declines to make any donations to a charity, and despises the holiday of Christmas as an excuse for reckless spending. However on the night of Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his dead business partner Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge to change his ways or be punished in the afterlife for being a greedy heartless miser. Despite the warning, Scrooge dismissed the whole encounter with his dead partner to be utter madness and ends up going to bed. However Scrooge ends up having an encounter with three additional ghosts in which each of them try to make Scrooge realize the error in his ways.
