Sleigh Bells

Synopsis

Professor Ratbaggy has invented a Santa Copter to fly Happy Hammond, Ron Blaskett, Gerry Gee and Elaine McKenna to the North Pole to help Santa with his Christmas orders. They meet Santa and his workers: Susan-Gaye, Jovial Janet and Bernard (the Magician). Santa is angry with Bernard, who has been causing trouble, and tells him to leave. Bernard departs angrily and threatens revenge. Ron, Gerry and Elaine trek through the snow looking for Bernard, who they find in his magician’s cave casting a diabolical spell on Santa. They decide to steal Bernard’s magic wand, but it breaks in two and they can only take half of it back to Santa’s workshop. There they find that the reindeer have gone, and the Santa Copter has stopped working — the result of Bernard’s spell. All except Elaine return to the magician’s cave to get the other half of the wand. Meanwhile Bernard sneaks into the workshop and captures Elaine. He threatens her with a magic atomic bomb. The others arrive back and Bernard takes them captive also. The Good Spirit of Christmas appears magically. She casts a spell over Bernard which erases his wickedness. The reindeer return and Santa can deliver the toys. The friends board the Santa Copter and fly back to the Tarax Show where the studio audience awaits them. There is singing and dancing as they celebrate Christmas.
