In this NBC Christmas Special from 1984, Mr. T plays a street Santa Claus who meets a young boy, played by Emmanuel Lewis of TV's Webster, who doesn't share the spirit of Christmas. Mr. T sets out to change Billy's mind, taking him around the city to FAO Schwartz, where he gets a magic lesson from David Copperfield, and then to Radio City Music Hall, where he listens to Christmas songs sung by Maureen McGovern, imagines himself as one of the toy soldiers in the Rockettes' Christmas Show, meets Willie Tyler and his dummy Lester, and finally is moved to realize the true meaning of Christmas, before being reunited with his parents.
A celebration of how the very young and the very old appreciate and enjoy each other via sketches and variety performances.
The Magician
Однажды под Новый Год однокурсники решили подшутить над своим другом. Они сообщили ему, что с ним хочет переспать одна клёвая девушка и ждёт его в одном из уютных номеров. Придя на место, Кенни был готов уже пуститься во все тяжкие, но вместо девушки он обнаружил под одеялом кровавый труп, после чего сразу же попал в психушку. Некоторое время спустя его «друзья» снова организовывают вечеринку-маскарад в несущемся поезде, где вскоре появляется ещё один незваный гость, у которого свои критерии веселья.
