Willie is a thief who teams up with his dwarf friend, Marcus, for a very special Christmas scam. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, Marcus tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to rob stores blind just before Christmas. Willie is a bitter and foul-mouthed alcoholic who doesn't care much for kids; a mall manager is certain something's wrong, so he asks the chief of security to check out Willie; and one of the kids Willie is forced to talk to becomes a regular customer.
