Summary
It's the holiday season and droves of people make their way to the malls of the world. Included in the masses are two con men who go from mall to mall robbing each one for whatever they can take. The duo disguise themselves as Santa Claus and his elf dividing their time between bouncing kids on their knees and planning how to rob the mall. Everything works out fine until an 8-year old boy comes into the picture and complicates the matter by teaching the crooks the meaning of Christmas.
