An old man with a long white beard walks down a New York street. In the interpretation, the arranger draws attention to the wrong order of the reindeer in the Christmas sleigh. He meets a drunken Santa Claus in the parade and, concerned about his condition, takes his place with great success. So Kriss Kringle from a nursing home becomes an advertising attraction for a toy store. His success lies in the fact that he is a real Santa, as he tells everyone without hesitation. Some like to believe him, some don't. A neurotic psychologist wants to have him locked up in an institution, so the court will begin to deal with whether he really is Santa with all seriousness and with great publicity. However, Krissi Kringle is mainly interested in getting little Susan and her rational mother to believe him, who, disappointed with life, has given up fantasy and belief in the possibility of making wishes come true.
