Merry Olde Christmas

Emily Ainsley, an idealistic young lady, is trying to provide a home to young orphans, and that's not an easy task in London in 1867. She rents space from a greedy businessman, Aloysius Penningham, but gets behind in the payments. He proposes marriage to her (so that he can manage her future inheritance) or threatens eviction if she refuses. Harrold, an angel in the guise of a gentleman, starts to work on Penningham, while other well-meaning folk attempt to help Mrs. Fritzroy-Palmer locate her long lost daughter. A ragtag band of pickpockets creates havoc and humor as Penningham is forced to confront the consequences of his sins. Desperate, Penningham is forced to follow Harrold's advice which results in a profound change of heart, a united family, and a truly merry Christmas for all! Full evening.
