Theatrical producer J.W. Allsworth is putting together a spectacular holiday production promising to use 100 authentic elves for the big finale. Phelps, the head elf at the North Pole, says he will have the exact number of singers and dancers at the first rehearsal. He’ll keep it as a surprise for Santa when the money earned will pay off the workshop mortgage. But when Phelps comes up short of elves because Santa has already downsized the staff, Phelps must organize a worldwide search for all past employees. He finally comes up with exactly the required number, including Gustavia, the oldest elf in the world, now living in Florida. However, a staged snowstorm effect freezes her solid as she waits in the wings for her entrance. With only 99 elves to go on stage, panic sets in. Now the sponsors will pull their funding, J.W.’s agency will go under, and Santa will lose his workshop. Can J.W.’s long-buried secret save the show?
