PLOT SUMMARY:

It’s 10 days before Christmas, and newlywed David Tuttle has secretly been moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fantastic, expensive gift. He tells her he's working late at the office, but she suspects his late nights are an excuse to sneak out to have an affair. The suspected other woman, some wacky neighbors, a slightly off-balance Santa burglar, his tough gun-toting fiancée, and a hypnotized policeman (who thinks he's an exotic dancer) add up to a rollicking lighthearted tale that is full of mistaken identities and zany foul-ups, with a smattering of slapstick!
