A lighthearted, fast-paced con-artist comedy built on clever schemes and holiday warmth, where a small-time crook's desperation accidentally becomes genuine charity.

When the Lemon Drop Kid accidentally cheats gangster Moose Moran out of his track winnings, the Kid promises to repay Moose the money by Christmas. Creating a fake charity for "Apple Annie" Nellie Thursday, the Kid tricks his gang into donning Santa suits and "collecting dough for old dolls" like Nellie who have nowhere to live.
