Plot Summary: Upon his mail delivery route to the North Pole, S.D. Kluger’s snowmobile had broken down. Upon fixing up his snowmobile, Kluger decided to answer the various questions in which all the kids had on the origin of Santa Claus. It was many years ago within a small town called Sombertown which was ruled by a cruel Burgermeister. One day a baby was left at the doorstep of the Burgermeister with nothing but a name tag that reads "Claus". The Burgermeister wanted nothing to do with the baby and ordered his right hand man to deliver Claus to the orphanage. Claus was then being delivered to the orphanage via sled. Only for Claus to be blown away by a big gust of wind, which led him to the doorstep of the home of the Kringle elf family. Seeing that Claus was abandoned and in need of getting some tender care, the Kringles decided to adopt Claus and renamed him as Kris Kringle. Within time, Kris will learn that he will play an important role in spreading happiness in the world.
