In ancient times, a man named Claus, who delivers toys in his small village, fulfils his destiny to become Santa Claus after meeting an expert toy-making elf, Patch, in the North Pole.

There, Patch unknowingly threatens the fate of Christmas by taking a job at a failing toy company run by a scheming businessman.
