The script, by Rankin/Bass's usual writer, Romeo Muller, uses elements suggested by ''The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus'' by [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Oz]] author Creator/LFrankBaum; Rankin/Bass would produce a more direct adaptation in 1985. The music followed the favored R/B formula, starting with a classic Christmas tune and adding original songs by Maury Laws (music) and co-producer/co-director Jules Bass (lyrics).

As narrated by polar postman S.D. ("Special Delivery") Kluger (Creator/FredAstaire), a family of toy-making elves adopts a foundling baby and decides to name him Kris Kringle. When Kris grows into a young man (Creator/MickeyRooney), he offers to deliver the toys the elves have made past the mountain of the evil Winter Warlock (Creator/KeenanWynn) to the children of Sombertown. Unfortunately for Kris, the leader of the town, Burgermeister Meisterburger (Rankin/Bass favorite Creator/PaulFrees), injured himself sometime earlier by tripping over a toy left by a child and subsequently banned all toys from the town. The story details how Kris outwits the Burgermeister, but is eventually forced to run from his soldiers to the safety of the North Pole.
