Aston invite Davies chez lui (une pièce unique encombrée d'un bric-à-brac) après l'avoir tiré d'une dispute dans un café. Davies finit par accepter l'offre d'Aston de l'héberger temporairement, n'ayant ni argent, ni domicile, ni papiers. Il se révèle vite être un vieil homme opportuniste, parasitique et peu amène, se plaignant de tout et volontiers raciste. Mick, propriétaire de la maison dans laquelle vit son frère Aston, semble irrité par l'intrusion de Davies et le rudoie. Aston propose à Davies d'être gardien de l'immeuble mais sa patience finit par s'user devant l'égoïsme du vieil homme. Davies tente alors d'obtenir l'appui de Mick contre son frère, mais la manœuvre échoue. À la fin de la pièce Davies en appelle à nouveau à Aston mais il est clair que ce sera en vain.

Lisa Piper (Drew Barrymore), an eleven-year-old girl from Cincinnati, Ohio, takes care of her siblings and cooks for her family. She has no time for toys, and refuses to be treated as a child. During a blizzard on Christmas Eve, Lisa is transported to Toyland. She arrives just before Mary Contrary (Jill Schoelen) is to be wedded to the unpleasant Barnaby Barnacle (Richard Mulligan), although Mary loves Barnaby's nephew, Jack Nimble (Keanu Reeves). Lisa stops the wedding and, with her new friends, finds out that Barnaby plans to take over Toyland. Lisa, Mary, Jack, and Georgie Porgie (Googy Gress) go to the kindly Toymaster (Pat Morita) for help, but he can only help them if Lisa really believes in toys. Barnaby confronts them and the Toymaster, finally showing his true colors, and steals a flask containing distilled evil that the Toymaster had been collecting, before leaving Lisa and company to be eaten by Trollog, a vulture-like monster with a single enchanted eye that Barnaby uses to spy on his enemies. They escape by blinding Trollog with paint and locking him in a chest, but are captured and imprisoned one by one in Barnaby's hidden fortress.

The film opens with a funeral procession, presumably that of Jacob Marley, as his death is mentioned by the narrator (Roger Rees). The scene then changes to seven years later, on Christmas Eve in 1843 within the business establishment of Scrooge and Marley. Bob Cratchit (David Warner), a clerk employed by Scrooge, comments that Marley has been dead for seven years, but is gruffly ordered to return to work by Marley's surviving partner, Ebenezer Scrooge (George C. Scott). Bob then attempts to add some coal to an almost nonexistent fire, but is stopped by Scrooge, who gives him a curt and cutting lecture on clothing as protection against the cold, and that "coal burns; coal is fleeting, and coal is costly". Scrooge then declares that there will be no more coal burned in the office that day, and orders Cratchit to return to work lest he be fired.
