Synopsis
John Nicholas' dream of building 'Funland,' whose admission is absolutely free to poor kids, seems not to be ready for the Christmas season opening until Santa 'Superman' Claus steps in to make it a reality. Open it does, but the dis-inherited heirs of the man who provided their play land provide their share of sabotage.
