00:01Give, give, give, give. Joy, joy, joy, joy. Live, live, live, live.
00:21Love is the answer. Yeah, love is the answer. Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy.
00:35Give, give, give, give, give.
00:42Today is the last shopping day till Christmas, folks, and we take you now to downtown Toyland.
00:50Here we are in downtown Toyland where children's dreams come true.
00:54Hello, little girl. What do you think Santa's going to bring you this year?
00:58You want a what? Oh, my goodness. Well, have you been good all year?
01:03You have? Well, congratulations. Is your little brother like Christmas, too?
01:07Hi there, little fellow. Say, that's some good-looking candy you've got there.
01:10Could I have some? Ouch!
01:14Well, let's get over and talk to some of the mommies and daddies waiting in line here to see Santa.
01:18Hi, Dad. Hello, Mom. How long have you been waiting in line?
01:22You have? Well, that certainly is a long time.
01:25How about you, Dad? This is a microphone. Why?
01:28Oh, my. I couldn't do that.
01:31Well, our time's about up here, so now we'll take you back to our studio.
01:36Many a needy family may not be visited by Santa tonight.
01:42There is growing concern that thousands of charity dollars collected on street corners throughout the city
01:50may never reach their proper destination.
01:54Contributions are down.
01:57Numerous cases of fraudulent individuals posing as street corner Santas
02:04have been reported making the public extremely wary.
02:09And now we take you live to 34...
02:36Hey!
02:37Hong-dee, her dearyear, that's the first mother-old friend Knewton calls for capital circle
02:42He never walked away from the soms to heaven.
02:42Well said, you know if we look old friends, aren't you a man like that.
04:10Shorty, this your sled here, and what's it doing sitting out here in the middle of the sidewalk where somebody
04:19could trip over it?
04:20A person could get hurt that way, you know.
04:26Let that be a lesson to you.
04:29Move it along now.
04:32You hear?
04:45Sure.
04:46Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
05:12Oh, you've come about the Santa position.
05:17Very good.
05:18Come in.
05:19Come in.
05:20Yes.
05:21Yes.
05:22Oh, cold enough for you.
05:36Hmm.
05:38Oh, what a morning it's been.
05:40One applicant after another.
05:42I guess I shouldn't complain, though.
05:45It doesn't do any good anyway now, does it, goodness?
05:48No, it doesn't do good.
05:49It's so hard to find good help these days.
05:53Nobody seems to care anymore.
05:57Just fill out this form.
05:59Print clearly.
06:00Last name first and first name last.
06:04Oh, yes.
06:06Christmas isn't what it used to be.
06:08Oopsie daisy.
06:10Oh, well, no problem.
06:12Well, we'll just file that over here.
06:15There now.
06:17Alrighty.
06:18If you'll just stand there, we'll try this Santa suit on for size.
06:23Yes.
06:24Oh, my goodness.
06:25You are standing up.
06:26Oh.
06:27It was very good.
06:28Well, here we go.
06:30Quite good.
06:31Yes.
06:32Now, let's top it off with the hat, so to speak.
06:37Yes, I think we'll do just fine.
06:40Oh, merciful heavens.
06:42I must let your fellow applicants know that the position has been filled.
06:48Oh, my goodness.
06:50How inconsiderate of me.
06:53Dreadfully sorry.
06:55Thank you for being so patient, gentlemen.
06:59But I'm afraid the position has been filled.
07:05Oh, they took it quite badly, poor devils.
07:09But then, we can't all be winners now, can we?
07:16Don't forget your kettle, doll.
07:18There's no rest for the winners.
07:21Now, remember this.
07:23All the Christmas money that you collect in your little kettle
07:29has to be brought back here to me.
07:34It all goes to help poor people at Christmas.
07:38Yes.
07:38Yes.
07:39To help the needy.
07:41That's the big idea.
07:42Yes.
07:43Goodbye, now.
07:45And have a good day.
07:47To coin a phrase.
07:50And don't forget the money.
07:53Get lost at this.
07:55Oh, no.
07:55Bye.
07:56Bye.
08:08I'll get you.
08:08I say merry gentlemen.
08:10I'll let you spare.
08:13Oh, no.
08:15I'll let you spare.
08:20I'll let you spare.
08:25I'll let you spare.
08:29Oh, no.

16:46Officer O'Connor here.
16:48I've got the wagon full of them, Chief.
16:50Every crooked Santa in town.
16:52You and your crooked Santa schemes.
16:55What now, smart guy?
16:57Just a moment, men.
17:01Let's look at the bright side.
17:04Bright side?
17:05Yeah, what bright side?
17:07I mean, let's face it, boys.
17:09This crooked Santa business is far too seasonal.
17:15I am seriously considering going into politics.
17:20Yes, Chief.
17:21We've got the full load here.
17:23What about the little guy?
17:25Did you get the little guy?
17:26Oh, the little guy.
17:28Yeah, I think he's the last of the gang.
17:30But don't worry, Chief.
17:31I'm hot on his trail.
17:33He just turned loose a whole bunch of turkeys.
17:36You're following a bunch of turkeys?
17:38No, Chief.
17:39The little guy who let loose the turkeys.
17:41Listen, O'Connor.
17:42I don't care what you're following.
17:43Do you hear me?
17:44I want every one of those crooked Santas off the street and behind bars.
17:48Yes, sir.
17:49Get that little guy and bring him in.
17:51Right, Chief.
18:00Shut up in there, you turkeys!
18:06All right, Sweeney.
18:08You run this bunch of fawnies into the station, or you're going after the little guy.
18:15And when I am elected...
18:21And when I am elected...
19:00Got you!
19:02Getting rid of that Santa suit didn't fool me for a minute, Shorty.

19:09Let's go.
19:12I'm taking you in...
