Scrooge is a 1913 British black and white silent film based on the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
The opening credits are followed by a scene in which Charles Dickens is seen pacing his library seeking inspiration for a new story.
A short introductory synopsis describing miserly London businessman Ebenezer Scrooge leads into a shot of his nephew Fred Wyland giving money to poor children on Christmas Eve.
At the office, Scrooge's clerk Bob Cratchit bids goodbye to his crippled son Tiny Tim and goes to work.
Scrooge wakes and realising the error of his ways, throws money from his window to the poor children and sends a boy for a large turkey for Cratchit and then goes to visit them for lunch.
