But Dr. Frankincense isn't evil at all, and he's created the ultimate proof of his good-hearted inventiveness: The Christmas Monster! But when Jack Frost, the Ghost of Christmas Past, Frosty and other suspicious locals put Dr. Frankincense on trial for crimes against the holiday, will his invention be enough to save him from jail?
