SYNOPSIS It’s the night before Christmas, Frodo and Baggins, Santa’s elves, are getting the presents ready to send. As they are wrapping the presents, Rudolph starts to sneeze, he has the flu and can’t work. The elves realize they will need to find another helper and fast! But which other animal will be able to do the job as well as as Rudolph can? They call the Zoo and ask for an animal. First they get a sheep, but the sheep keeps falling asleep. Next, they send a lion, but the lion is too fierce. Then they send a monkey, but the monkey is too naughty. None of them have a red nose, none of them can fly and none of them can post the presents. It’s a disaster. Their only hope is that Rudolph gets better and can post the presents in time for Christmas.
