The story

On Christmas Eve 1860, in London, mean-spirited sour stingy money-lender Ebenezer Scrooge declines his nephew Harry's invitation for Christmas dinner and reluctantly gives his loyal employee Bob Cratchit Christmas Day off. As Scrooge leaves his office, he declines two gentlemen's offer to collect money for charity. Returning home, Scrooge encounters the ghost of his seven-year-dead business partner Jacob Marley, who reveals that if Scrooge continues his miserly ways, he will be condemned in the afterlife as Marley was, carrying a heavy chain forged by his own selfishness and greed.
