The film was directed by Burt Gillett and features the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey and Pinto Colvig as Pluto.

A mother sits at the table crying and Mickey and Pluto see from a picture that the father is in jail and she has no money for food or toys.

With the money, Mickey buys toys and food for the cat family and their mother, who is now snoring as he makes it back to their house and he delivers the goods dressed as Santa Claus.

Mickey leaves satisfied that he helped the cat family in having a happy Christmas, though he feels depressed of selling away Pluto.

Meanwhile, Adelbert starts making a mess in the house by throwing objects at a helpless Pluto; even doing the same to his father and butler, all just to continue amusing himself.

The final straw was when Adelbert uses the Christmas tree as a slingshot to send Pluto flying in the air, causing the father to be struck in the butt by the star.
