Just before Christmas, Lee Leander is caught shoplifting. It is her third offense. She is prosecuted by John Sargent. He postpones the trial because it is hard to get a conviction at Christmas time. But he feels sorry for her and arranges for her bail, and ends up taking her home to his mother for Christmas. Surrounded by a loving family (in stark contrast to Lee's own family background) they fall in love. This creates a new problem: how do they handle the upcoming trial?
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol will feature songs from legendary composer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse as it adapts the 1970 feature film that starred Albert Finney in the lead role. The CG animation is due to debut on Netflix in December 2022.
