This American made-for-television fantasy drama is a loose adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens 1843 novella "A Christmas Carol." This movie moves the story to New England, where stingy elderly businessman Benedict Slade (Henry Winkler) ruthlessly collects debts and makes life miserable for everyone around him. His unscrupulous behavior warrants a Christmas Eve visit from his ghostly former partner and other spirits that show him the error of his ways. Can Slade turn his life around and become a better person before it's too late?

Academy Award-winning special make-up effects artist Rick Baker consulted on the aging makeup for star Henry Winkler - who was at the height of his "Happy Days" fame at this time.

This movie first aired on ABC on December 16, 1979.
