The film has several plot lines, one each for Ralphie, his father and his mother, followed by one involving Ralphie and his dad on a fishing trip. Ralphie's quest for most of the movie is to find a top tough enough to knock a bully's top out of a chalk circle in a game of "Kill". Meanwhile, Ralphie's dad has a series of skirmishes with his hillbilly neighbors, the Bumpuses, and all forty-three Bloodhounds named Big Red. The Old Man calls in Barkley, the family dog, to distract the Bumpuses' hounds when the Old Man comes home from work; when he gets out of the car, he accidentally steps in dog poop. Ralphie's mom would like to finally get something other than a Ronald Colman gravy boat on dish night at the local cinema. Scut, the main bully, is demoted, with a new head bully ruling over him.

Le film s'ouvre dans un bar, où des garçons tentent de trouver des filles pour la nuit. Benny, au caractère un peu difficile et sensible sur son identité afro-américaine, a besoin d'argent qu'il demande à son frère Hugh plus métis. Benny est un jeune homme révolté, qui tente de jouer de la trompette, mais erre surtout de bars en bars à travers les rues de Greenwich Village et de Broadway, à la fin des années cinquante, avec ses amis Dennis et Tom, tout en acceptant des compromis avec son art pour vivre.

The movie takes place in 1946, six years after the events in the first movie which took place in 1940, showing Ralphie as a teenager, almost 16, who only wants a used 1939 Mercury convertible for Christmas. He accidentally causes the car to roll back out of the used car lot and gently tap a light pole causing a plastic reindeer on the pole to loosen and fall through the convertible top, so he bands together with Flick and Schwartz to raise enough money to fix it before Christmas so that the car dealer won't have Ralphie thrown in jail.
