Mr. S. Claus, also known as Santa Claus, finds himself in a series of legal problems involving taxes, vehicle regulations, worker deductions, health and safety violations, animal welfare concerns, gift duties, and environmental charges. As a result, Santa's Christmas celebrations are canceled this year.
