Underneathing his ill–fitting red suit, washed–up department store Santa Clause Willie T. Stokes is actually a safecracker who makes one big score every year – on Christmas Eve. As shoppers head home, this Santa and his ingenious Elf – Willie‘s midget partner–in–crime Marcus (Tony Cox) – crack the store safe and make off with their own holiday stash. But then comes Phoenix. Here Santa and his Elf find their annual heist endangered by a pesky store manager, a savvy mall detective, a sexy Santa fan and an innocent but beleaguered 8–year–old misfit who decides to believe that Willie – as intoxicated and felonious as he seems to be – is the real Santa he‘s been seeking.
