"Four classic Christmas tales are featured on this collection; each tale was originally produced for television in the 1950s. The collection begins with "The Adventures of Long John Silver: The Orphans' Christmas," in which Miss Purity and Long John Silver demonstrate their kindness by helping a group of orphans enjoy the holiday season. "Annie Oakley: Santa Claus Wears A Gun" follows, telling the story of a Santa Claus lookalike who is accused of armed robbery. Next up, "The Adventures of Robin Hood: The Christmas Goose" sees Robin and his merry bunch of men trying to save a cute little goose from ending up on the Christmas dinner table. Then, completing the collection, "The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel: The Christmas Present" tells the story of four children trapped in a house in France, who are desperate to make it back to their native England for the holiday season."
