When Santa Claus fails to arrive on Christmas Eve, Atomic Rabbit rushes to the North Pole to investigate—only to discover that Sly Fox and his sons have deliberately created a fog to keep Santa grounded while they rob the Rabbit-Ville Bank. Stranded thousands of miles away but quick-thinking, Atomic Rabbit devises a clever plan using the very gifts he'd given to the local children to stop the thieves and get Santa back on his delayed rounds.

When Atom the Cat overhears the villainous Bulldozer and Long John plotting to intercept Santa's gift delivery by sneaking into Santa's workshop and altering a child's address, he realizes he's stumbled onto the scheme of the season.

It's a race to save Christmas from two crooks who've learned that meddling with Santa's list is never a good idea.

When Atom the Cat receives a message summoning him to a special honor ceremony at Bollo Field, he rushes to accept—only to discover it's an elaborate trap set by the villains Bulldozer and Long John, who've constructed an escape-proof cage surrounded by a moat and barbed wire fence.

Timmy the Timid Ghost was once so afraid of horses that he'd turn pale at the sight of one—so much so that when his father finally convinced him to touch one, Timmy had to buy a ten-foot pole for courage.
