Greedy and selfish Jessie (well played to the chilly hilt by Linda Thorson) plots to acquire buildings that her dying wealthy husband Thomas (a convincing portrayal by Tom McDermott) has reserved for the poor so she can sell them at a substantial profit. However, a strange doctor (a fine performance by always reliable character actor Mason Adams) shows Jessica the error of her ways in a frightening manner.
Director Brian Thomas Jones relates the engrossing story at a steady pace as well as ably crafts a festive yuletide atmosphere. Edithe Swensn's thoughtful script not only has playfully ghoulish fun with the "A Christmas Carol"-like premise, but also delivers a pleasing upbeat message about redemption and second chances. The sickly make-up for Thomas looks appropriate ghastly. Moreover, we also get a funky trio of skeletal ghosts for extra creepy measure. A good show.
