A few days before Christmas there is a long series of thefts of toys made by a man dressed as Santa Claus called Mario Cimatti (Gerry Scotti). To successfully resolve the case intervenes Ezekiel (Lino Banfi): the nice old man catching the thief and discovers an orphanage where the director forbids the Christmas festivities. Now his target is doubled: recover the stolen gifts and teach children to celebrate, all in less than 24 hours.
