When laid-back Australian Barry Buckley's sure-fire business venture fails to ignite, a bizarre chain reaction of events causes a catastrophic chance meeting with Santa.
Santa has trouble over Australia, ending up lost due to a reindeer glitch. In an accident, he gets switched with local outback denizen (and Santa look-alike, of course!) Barry, who is taken back to the North Pole. Santa is left in the Australian outback at Barry's place, with an assortment of interesting, talking characters (a platypus, a Koala, a crocodile...yeah, it's VERY Australian). This switch is the basis for all that ensues as Santa attempts to return to the North Pole and Barry attempts to deal with his own end of the situation. [NOTE: This is claymation.]
