The premise
Here’s the bit.
Scrooge wakes delighted by his second chance at Christmas, only for an armored visitor from the year 3050 to burst into his bedroom. Calling himself the Ghost of Christmas Way Future, the stranger recruits Scrooge to fight Skeletrex’s skeletal forces. The bewildered old man follows increasingly bizarre combat instructions, attacks with his cane and discovers that his Christmas spirit has an unexpectedly violent use.
