But after Santa returns from his summer fishing trip, the idyllic North Pole life changes with Santa's demands to make this the best Christmas ever. Soon the Elves work overtime with glassy eyes. Mrs. Claus begs for Gil's help then later, with an apron smeared with red, denies any problem. Gil realizes Santa isn't the real Santa. Who is he? Escaping from the terror enveloping the North Pole, Gil and a renegade reindeer must find the real Santa and help him regain the North Pole before evil takes over Christmas and the world!
